Félix Le Braz - Flashback - Génération Vhs - Le Boui Boui Lyon

Félix Le Braz at Le Boui-Boui

At Le Boui-Boui, we are delighted to welcome Félix Le Braz with his new one-man show, Flashback Generation VHS, a live experience tailor-made for an intimate room like ours. From the moment the lights come up, his set plugs directly into the collective memory, rewinding to the era of blinking clocks on VCRs, clacking cassette cases, and the ritual of family movie nights recorded over with unexpected commercials. Our stage puts you right in the front row of his nostalgia-fueled storytelling, where the comedian’s quick shifts between characters, sound effects, and razor-sharp punchlines unfold with the immediacy that only a close-up venue can offer. Expect throwbacks to video clubs, the legendary “tracking” button, and the tactile joy of rewinding as an act of patience, all reframed through today’s connected life. Félix plays with the tension between analog slowness and digital speed, turning cultural touchstones into laugh-ready set pieces, and at Le Boui-Boui you can catch every wink, callback, and perfectly timed pause. This is a show for anyone who remembers the glow of a CRT screen—and for those discovering that world for the first time.

Flashback Generation VHS: material, momentum, and the joy of live comedy

More than a nostalgia trip, Flashback Generation VHS showcases a performer in full creative motion. Félix Le Braz has honed a rhythm that keeps our room buzzing, folding observational comedy into playful act-outs and musical snippets that echo the mixtape era. The evening is structured around themed routines that he delivers with precision and spontaneity, with memorable bits like “Be Kind, Rewind (Or Else),” “Remote Wars,” “Camcorder Confessions,” and “Boss Battles on a Sunday Night.” These sequences let him jump from family-life anecdotes to schoolyard trading of tapes, from doomed recordings of Sunday films to the first console showdowns that divided siblings and forged friendships. As a stand-up, he thrives on direct exchange: expect agile crowd work, callbacks that knit the entire hour together, and on-the-fly riffs that respond to the room’s pulse. In recent months he has been road-testing fresh ideas on stages across the country, sharpening transitions, and layering sound-design gags that come to life in a theatre like ours. If you follow contemporary comedy trends, you’ll recognize the brisk, story-forward style he brings; if you’re new to stand-up, this is a perfect entry point—smart, accessible, and packed with punchlines that land whether you grew up on VHS or streaming.

Le Boui-Boui’s setting is the ideal companion to Félix Le Braz’s approach: the proximity invites you into his living room of memories, where a single gesture can conjure a whole Saturday night programming grid and a single sound can transport you back to the whirr of a tape reaching its end. Because the show thrives on shared references, our audience becomes part of the rhythm—collective laughter at a frozen frame, a gasp at the chaos of accidentally recording over a favorite movie, that knowing murmur when the TV aerial needed just the right angle. Félix maps these tiny cultural myths into bigger themes: how technology shapes family rituals, how patience turns into anticipation, how scarcity makes culture feel precious. And he does it with a warm, energetic presence that plays beautifully in our room. From “Tape vs. Cloud” to “The Console That Ate My Homework,” the set’s named beats give the evening a playful spine, while improvisations keep each performance unique to Lyon. Whether you’re a die-hard nostalgic or simply craving a sharp, contemporary hour of stand-up, Flashback Generation VHS at Le Boui-Boui promises a vivid, laugh-out-loud rewind—brought to life just a few feet from the stage lights.
