Marine Leonardi - Mauvaise Graine - Tournée

Marine Leonardi presents Mauvaise Graine in Lyon

We are thrilled to welcome Marine Leonardi and her Tournée with the audacious Mauvaise Graine to Bourse du Travail Lyon, where a vivid, one-night-only energy will meet a room ready to laugh, think, and lean forward together. From our vantage point as hosts, this is the kind of show that thrives on proximity: razor-sharp writing delivered with an intimate conversational tone, sudden turns from playful confession to daring punchlines, and a performer who knows how to catch a breath just long enough to make the next eruption of laughter land even harder. Mauvaise Graine channels that thrilling tension between rebellion and tenderness—stories of mischief and self-determination that feel both beautifully specific and instantly relatable—while making space for those electric moments of crowd interaction that only happen live. Here in Lyon, expect Marine Leonardi to bring a restless imagination and a fine-tuned sense for rhythm; the kind of timing that leaves the room suspended on a comma before tumbling into a chorus of applause.

The artist’s current momentum—and why this stop matters

Marine Leonardi arrives in Lyon with momentum, propelled by a Tournée that keeps generating word-of-mouth enthusiasm across audiences who crave smart, contemporary comedy. The cultural moment she speaks to is the same one lighting up living rooms and timelines: the high-velocity punchline culture you may recognize from LOL: Qui rit, sort!, the observational bite that fans of Quotidien and Clique appreciate, the stagecraft and crowd warmth associated with Paname Comedy Club, and the precision audiences celebrate at Montreux Comedy. While Mauvaise Graine stands firmly on its own voice, it converses with this broader ecosystem—riffing on modern habits, decoding social codes, and finding wit in the gap between who we are and who we’re told to be. We’ve watched interest climb with every new Tournée announcement, and this Lyon date lands at a kinetic point: Marine Leonardi is refining material in real time, calibrating it to the pulse of each city, and carrying that fresh, here-and-now electricity into every seat in the house. Expect a personal, agile hour that roams from family lore to work-life hustle, from romance riddles to the delightful chaos of friendships—and yes, those unflinching asides about the way we consume today’s media, from Hot Ones (France) reactions to the memes and micro-trends that shape how we talk to one another.

As hosts, we prepare for Mauvaise Graine with the same care we bring to nights when a performer’s craft meets a room’s appetite for discovery. Bourse du Travail Lyon is where we witness the micro-dynamics that make this show sing: the split-second hush before a bold confession, the wave of laughter that travels row by row, the spontaneous call-and-response that transforms an audience into a single, gleeful character in the story. Our team coordinates the flow from doors to curtain with the pacing of the performance in mind, giving you time to settle, tune your senses, and let the anticipation build. Marine Leonardi’s presence invites that special kind of attention—alert, receptive, playful—which means you can expect a night shaped as much by her instinct for storytelling as by the distinctive Lyon spirit in the room. For us, this stop on the Tournée is not just another date on the calendar; it is an invitation to experience a living, breathing snapshot of an artist in full flight, bringing Mauvaise Graine to life with the immediacy that only a Lyon audience can spark.
