Laurent Gerra se met à table

Laurent Gerra sets the table with a new show, to be seen on June 6, 2026 at the Zénith de Caen in Caen. An impressionist and comedian, he cuts into current events and the personalities that animate them, cooking up a gallery of characters recognizable from the first word. Politics, song, television, cinema: nothing is spared, with a new menu and a few classics given a contemporary twist. His vocal palette moves from blustering, overconfident orators to weathered singers, TV stars and blockbuster heroes, each sketched with the telling detail that hits the mark. Between fresh material, reworked ditties and well-placed winks, Gerra alternates caricature and observation, playing on tics, silences and timing. No lectures—just the pleasure of play and the art of transformation, driven by precise writing and a sharp tempo. People come to recognize the voices; they stay for the way he sends them off-course, serving the news piping hot and satire without fuss. Dinner's served.
