Laurent Gerra se met à table

Laurent Gerra, a leading figure of French impersonation and satire, stops at the Arcadium in Annecy on June 12, 2026. Since his beginnings on radio and television, he has shaped a repertoire that brings together political leaders, singing stars and cinematic voices. On stage he moves from one character to another with a precise sense of timing, stringing together biting portraits, topical nods and sung moments in which one recognizes the tics and vocal tones of an entire era. Finely honed texts, dialogued scenes and reworked songs make up a show that alternates high energy with moments of respite, always in service of voice and performance. He revives familiar figures, introduces new characters inspired by the moment, and delights in the quirks of language as well as media posturing. Whether you have followed his columns for years or are discovering him now, you find the same direct way of telling the present through a gallery of immediately identifiable voices.
