Sandrine Sarroche - Nouveau Spectacle

Welcoming Sandrine Sarroche with Nouveau Spectacle in Lyon

We are delighted to host Sandrine Sarroche and her brand-new evening, Nouveau Spectacle, right here in Lyon at Bourse du Travail Lyon. From our vantage point backstage, we have watched audiences arrive with the same eager anticipation that has followed her across the country: a promise of razor-sharp observation, quicksilver character work, and the unmissable moment when she slides to the piano and turns current affairs into a musical. Her profile has only grown in recent seasons, thanks to her incisive television slots and live clips circulating widely online, where she shifts effortlessly from political satire to everyday portraits of modern France. Viewers will recognize her bite and timing from her regular appearances on Zemmour & Naulleau and her lively visits to Touche Pas à Mon Poste!, two platforms that have kept her voice present in the national conversation. Hosting her here gives us the privilege of offering that blend—stagecraft, song, and satire—in the exact setting it’s built for: a room full of people ready to laugh at the times we live in and at ourselves.

On stage: musical bite, character comedy, and topical fireworks

Nouveau Spectacle is sharpened for the here and now. From our side of the curtain, we can feel how the evening is engineered: a brisk opening that sets the tone, character sketches that expand into social snapshots, and a musical thread that ties it all together. Sarroche moves from a faux press conference to a dinner-party meltdown in a blink, switching registers with the control of a seasoned actor while punctuating the storytelling at the piano. Expect imitations that never settle for caricature; she sketches a personality, then peels back layers until the subtext becomes the punchline. The material is proudly topical—media frenzies, public figures, the everyday hypocrisies we all share—and the rhythm is pure live theater, constantly adjusting to the room. The audience’s responses matter to her; she listens, rebounds, and often riffs in the moment, which is why no two performances feel quite the same. For us as hosts, the joy is hearing the laughter ripple at different moments each night, proof that her writing is both precise and agile enough to catch different ears with different jokes.

Beyond this date, the artistic momentum around Sandrine Sarroche is unmistakable. Her recent television moments, including the satirical “billet” she honed on Zemmour & Naulleau and her lively stints on Touche Pas à Mon Poste!, have refreshed her gallery of characters and topical angles, feeding directly into the live show. She has been unveiling new pieces on tour—fresh lines on the political season, new refrains that turn headlines into cabaret, and updated portraits of influencers, bureaucrats, and the eternally overbooked parent. That synergy between screen and stage is part of what makes her current run feel so vibrant: sketches that take off online acquire a second life in the theater, richer and riskier in front of a live audience. We’re seeing a performer in full command of her tools: impeccable timing, crystal diction, and an ear for the musicality of everyday speech. As we welcome her to our stage, we know audiences will encounter the Sandrine Sarroche they’ve been following—funnier, sharper, and more musical than ever—along with surprises she saves for the intimacy of a room that listens, reacts, and dares her to push the next joke a little further.
