Thomas VDB

On April 20, 2027, Thomas VDB will take the stage at the Théâtre Chanzy in Angers. An actor with a background in journalism, and shaped by rock, radio and the music press, he has crafted a stand-up act that is distinctly his own—direct and solidly documented. From indie stages to television sets, from the Jamel Comedy Club to France Inter, he strings together everyday anecdotes and pop-culture stories with a sense of detail and timing inherited from his years as a frontman. Microphone in hand, he blends the energy of live performance with the writing of a columnist to offer a clear, concrete perspective on what we’re experiencing. His pieces touch on his early days at Rock Sound, his reports, his opening slots and his tours of venues, always going straight to the point without frills. In Angers, he appears in a pared-down format, carried by his voice and his knack for a memorable turn of phrase, for a stand-up firmly rooted in the present.
