Yann Guillarme - Libre ! ( Tournée )

Yann Guillarme brings Libre to our Lyon stage

We are delighted to welcome Yann Guillarme to our stage in Lyon with his new show Libre, a title that perfectly captures the spirit of a comedian who thrives on spontaneity, sharp observation, and a contagious appetite for mischief. From our vantage point as hosts, what makes this date so special is the way his stand-up builds a genuine connection with the room: he moves fast, changes tempo without warning, and invites the audience to follow him from everyday absurdities to razor-edged social snapshots. Libre is the kind of performance that breathes with the crowd; it balances crafted writing and in-the-moment improvisation, slipping from intimate confessions to larger-than-life characters with a dexterity that keeps laughter rolling. Expect a generous set that gives space to his favorite themes—friendship, love, sport, the little vanities that shape our routines—filtered through his unmistakable sense of timing. For Lyon’s comedy lovers, it’s the chance to see a performer at the height of his powers bring fresh material to a room designed to let each punchline land in full.

The artistic momentum behind Yann Guillarme’s new date

Hosting this stop on the tournée is all the more exciting given the momentum around Yann Guillarme’s current work. Libre doesn’t just package a greatest-hits hour; it showcases writing he has been refining in clubs and on digital platforms, with recent clips and short-form sketches energizing his audience between tour dates. Comedy fans arriving in Lyon will likely recognize the energy behind bits that have been circulating online in recent months, such as Le Supporter, Le Coach, or Le Père moderne—signatures that reveal his gift for physicality, escalating scenarios, and a wry affection for his targets. Alongside that, his presence in contemporary stand-up showcases like Paname Comedy Club and Montreux Comedy has fed the buzz around his name and confirmed his place among the voices shaping French stand-up today. What we see in preparation is an artist who relishes the freedom promised by the title of his show: the freedom to speed up, slow down, challenge, and play; to test new angles in front of a live crowd; and to let the specificity of each city—including Lyon’s quick wit and appetite for wordplay—color the evening.

From our side of the curtain, Libre is built to flourish in Lyon. The pacing, the musicality of his phrasing, and the way he reads the room all point to a night where audience reactions become part of the score. Yann Guillarme is a generous performer: he lets a riff breathe when laughter swells, tightens the screws when a premise begs for a surprise, and never loses the playful tension that keeps everyone leaning forward. Expect crisp storytelling punctuated by physical comedy, voices, faces, and those sudden turns where a casual observation detonates into a full scenario. Our team is preparing a clean, punchy sound and light design that amplifies that rhythm without overshadowing it—so the whispers land as precisely as the roars. Whether you have followed him through the tournée or you are discovering him live for the first time in Lyon, this date is an invitation to meet a comedian who has made clarity, agility, and joy his trademarks. Libre promises an evening built for a big laugh, a smart laugh, and the thrill of seeing new material come alive in the moment.
