Theater Cafés Lyon 1st 69001

Le Nombril du Monde is a little more than a simple theater-café: a living stage where talents can be born and blossom since more than 30 years. This is how the Nombril du Monde saw the birth of a certain Florence Foresti on stage... This café-theatre has a resident troupe of professional comedians, about fifteen, who play all the roles, from bar service to the stage. Two rooms (air-conditioned) to laugh all year long. The Nombril du Monde organizes comedy workshops. A short visit to the BistrO d'A Côté to chat with the comedians.

When was the last time you laughed at a show? Head for the Complexe, where you'll be looked after by a smiling team. Here, the show begins before the show, with a glass of sangria and a few tapas. You can eat, drink, chat and even fizz while waiting for the show to start, whether you're in the upstairs or downstairs room. Excellent programming with a strong comedic bent, to be followed on the Complexe website. Just one word of advice: make sure you book in advance, especially on weekends, as the Lyonnais really appreciate this venue. Every Saturday evening, stand-up at the Complexe Comedy Club.
