Laurent Gerra se met à table

On June 13, 2026, Laurent Gerra stops by Confluence Spectacles Avignon with Takes a Seat at the Table!, a new chapter for the impersonator and comedian who likes to satirize the times. On stage, he unfolds his gallery of voices, strings together sketches and portraits, and revisits current events in his own way, between deadpan barbs and musical asides. From politics to song, and from TV to film, his characters answer, rub up against, and collide with one another in a back-and-forth where caricature is mainly used to point out everyone’s tics and little mannerisms.

Gerra works the language and the rhythm, plays with silences, and slips in his breaks and asides. Takes a Seat at the Table! pushes this taste for detail toward a daily special where everyone gets their share, without heaviness or grandstanding. After a long tour and a Paris run, he returns with tightened writing and a sharply honed sense of timing. A show made for those who follow the news and can recognize, behind every voice, the outline of an era.
