Concert halls Lyon 5th 69005

In an alley in Old Lyon which has had an illustrious name for more than 25 years, the Boui Boui is, as it says, the "reference of café-theatres". And for everyone else, it is a must in the local comedy life. In a narrow room, you can really talk about proximity between the audience and the artists! A talent scouting room which has seen the debut of artists such as Anthony Kavanagh, Florence Foresti from Lyon, Jonathan Lambert... In short, it's "the Boui Boui to boui" for a game of fun with friends.

Espace Gerson, a name that sounds like an evidence when you think "shows" in Lyon. More than 30 years of existence for a room of 120 seats and stands with an unobstructed view on the stage, a very nice associative bar. An easily accessible stage in the old town of Lyon where about fifty comedy shows are usually performed every year. The Espace Gerson is a must of the Lyon's theater-café with the Plateaux de Gerson and young comedians who come to present a part of their show the last Mondays of each month.

Dancing and dancing restaurant for over 20 years. The site has lost nothing of its exotic charm and has enjoyed expansion work very recently. For themed evenings, funerals of young girls, young men, birthday, catherinettes, weddings, student evenings, it offers its very vast space - 160 seated seats - and a dynamic team, @ in the evening animation. For karaoke, you'll have to choose from 5 000 references, yes you read, it's amazing!

Le Petit Théâtre led by Janine Berdin still presents young, dynamic and entertaining shows for the pleasure of all audiences. As its name indicates, this Little Pocket Theatre is not very large, but its human size facilitates rapprochement with all the public, especially school students who can analyze the game of the actors under all the seams and almost under their noses! Traditionally, each representation is followed by an exchange between actors and public in a friendly relationship.

The Guignol de la rue Carrand could just as easily draw the curtain following the departure of the Zonzons company - remote by the municipality whose relationship with Guignol still seems problematic… - with whom Guignol and his entire troupe (we must know that the puppets belong to the city…) had spent so many years. Let's say it all go, it wasn't going to happen like that! We are Lyon and Guignol is part of the heritage. Fortunately, the MA company took over the torch (we hope it won't stop) and we could attend a representation of Guignol and the 40 seats, "pestacle" programmed until June. We will probably have to wait until the spring to learn more about the fate of this beautiful house dedicated to Guignol which, we hope, will continue to live without ever becoming a museum!

Punch always has a say, even when masked! We fell in love with this superb old-fashioned theatre in the heart of the Saint-Georges district, at the foot of the rugged Gourguillon hill and on the Place de la Trinité. Futé loves the good-natured atmosphere of the place, the café-theatre atmosphere, an integral part of Lyon's heritage, and of course the shows by Guignol from the classical repertoire or composed of creations. In addition, the Maison de Guignol offers excellent café-theatre shows in the evenings. Privatization possible.

Lyon, with its well-behaved image, is a city that loves humor. Established over 50 years ago in one of the most beautiful streets in the Renaissance district, l'Âne Rouge has forged a solid reputation in Lyon's cabaret scene, somewhere between theater and restaurant. In the shelter of its superb ^16th-century cellar, it perpetuates a long tradition while keeping up with the times under the direction of Didier Bouchaud. Start at 8:30pm for a well-prepared dinner-show featuring the evening's comedian and a magician. A carefully-curated program that favors one-man shows, with some fine new discoveries. Laugh out loud as you wait for the dessert served at the end of the show. An authentic Lyon cabaret.
