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

Le Boui-Boui welcomes Félix Le Braz with Flashback Generation VHS

At Le Boui-Boui, we love artists who turn intimacy into electricity, and that is precisely what happens when Félix Le Braz steps on our stage with Flashback Generation VHS. In our close-quarters room, his nostalgic deep-dive into the tape-era blossoms into a playful, quick-witted conversation with the audience: video clubs and late fees, tracking lines and chewed cassettes, family camcorders and the shaky glory of school plays preserved on magnetic tape. Félix mixes sharp observation with physical comedy, layering sound effects, mimed fast-forward/rewind gags, and callbacks that knit the whole room together. The compact scale of Le Boui-Boui lets him riff freely—he can catch a glance, seize a remark, and fold it into the show, the way you used to record over a tape with a fresh memory. Expect an hour that feels handcrafted for Lyon, with sly nods to local habits and a warm, convivial energy that has our team smiling at the tech desk as much as the crowd in the seats.

The artist’s current momentum

What excites us most about presenting Félix right now is his creative momentum. Flashback Generation VHS arrives at Le Boui-Boui in a refreshed, road-tested version, enriched by new tags and transitions he has shaped on club stages across France. His recent online clips have ignited lively comment threads about first consoles, mixtapes, and sibling rivalries over the living-room TV—proof that this retro lens speaks to multiple generations. If you follow contemporary comedy culture, you’ll sense how Félix channels today’s fast, reference-savvy rhythm seen across émissions like LOL: Qui rit, sort!, Quotidien, Clique, and Hot Ones France while keeping his tone warmly human and defiantly analogue. He thrives on precision timing and storytelling texture rather than cynicism, balancing affectionate nostalgia with smart, modern punchlines. This season he’s also been refining crowd-work modules that he can deploy at will, so each date—especially in a listening room like ours—carries its own signature. For Le Boui-Boui, that means a living, breathing show, as collectible as the tapes it celebrates.

From our vantage point at Le Boui-Boui, the evening plays like a communal rewind. We watch patrons arrive swapping their first-tech memories—Walkman vs. Discman, Minitel menus, the “Be kind, rewind” ritual—before Félix turns those threads into onstage fuel. Our technical setup supports his tempo: tight lighting cues that snap between “pause” and “record,” a sound design that evokes the soft clunk of a VCR, and a room shape that amplifies laughter without losing the nuances of his asides. Félix delights in audience prompts—your earliest rental, the family tape you’d save in a fire—and he shapes them into playful set pieces that feel unique to Lyon. That rapport is our hallmark; it’s why we were determined to host Flashback Generation VHS here, where every seat is close enough to catch a raised eyebrow or a perfectly timed sigh. If you crave the warmth of a neighborhood theater and the spark of a comedian at the top of his craft, this rendezvous at Le Boui-Boui is the kind of night you’ll want to replay in your head long after the lights come up.
