This is Lyon's leading venue for topical, cutting-edge humor. Many artists have trodden the boards at Espace Gerson before tasting notoriety elsewhere (Romain Bouteille, Sophie Forte). The Espace Gerson's strong point is that it will give anyone a chance to have a go, whether they are famous or not, so it is advisable to study the programme beforehand to make sure you can find something that will correspond with your sense of humor. The beer is good, the audience is up for it and the open plan décor all make for a great night out which you can round off with a game of pool.
