Tanguy Pastureau - Un Monde Hostile - Tournée

Tanguy Pastureau brings Un monde hostile to Lyon

From our vantage point as hosts of major live comedy in the city, we are delighted to welcome Tanguy Pastureau with his new show, Un monde hostile, to Bourse du Travail Lyon. We have watched audiences follow his acidly lucid take on contemporary life from broadcast studios to the stage, and this date on his Tournée promises the full Pastureau experience: razor-edged writing, a velvet delivery, and that uniquely French mix of elegance and irreverence. Fans who know him from France Inter will recognize the incisive observer who sharpened his pen in Tanguy Pastureau maltraite l’info and who sparred so wittily alongside the team of La Bande Originale. In Lyon, he arrives with material honed on the road, calibrated for a live crowd that wants both laughter and perspective—an evening of smart stand-up that treats the news cycle as raw clay and everyday absurdities as a playground.

A sharp, topical, and delightfully unforgiving evening

Un monde hostile is Pastureau at full tilt: a panoramic riff on a society saturated with notifications, spin, and self-branding. The set threads together micro-observations—office politics, queue etiquette, the tyranny of the group chat—with his macro-view of public figures and the spectacle of power. Rather than court easy cynicism, he offers a tightrope act between tenderness and ferocity, exposing our contradictions with a smirk and a raised eyebrow. His timing turns pauses into punchlines, while callbacks accumulate to reveal a sly architecture underneath the apparent spontaneity. Expect him to juggle the week’s headlines with longer-form bits that fans of his radio chronicles will relish; the spirit of Tanguy Pastureau maltraite l’info hovers in the background, but the stage format gives him room to stretch into character work, faux-lectures, and audacious hypotheticals. In our Lyon hall, his minimalist staging—just a mic, a dark backdrop, and his unmistakable silhouette—keeps the focus on language: chiselled phrasing, stacked metaphors, and the slow-burn setup that detonates three beats later. It is comedy that trusts the audience’s intelligence and rewards attention with waves of delayed laughter.

Artistically, Pastureau is in a fertile moment. After carving out a singular voice across radio and television, he has doubled down on writing that lives—and changes—with the present. That agility is central to this Tournée: each stop becomes a snapshot of its week, with updates depending on what politics, pop culture, or tech scandals have served up. Viewers who discovered him through La Bande Originale will be pleased to find the same scalpel-precision here, sharpened by the intimacy of live performance and by his newfound relish for autobiographical detours: behind the public analyst stands a private citizen wrestling with the same feeds, algorithms, and social expectations as the rest of us. As a host venue, we see how audiences connect to that duality; Lyon spectators arrive quoting their favorite radio jabs and leave discussing new onstage moments that feel tailor-made for them. Un monde hostile is not just a title but a lens: it turns the city, the workday, and the nightly news into combustible matter for laughter. With his touring momentum building and clips from recent dates circulating widely, this visit is a chance to catch Tanguy Pastureau in full creative stride—nimble, topical, and gloriously unforgiving.
