At Le Boui-Boui: hosting Flashback génération VHS

At Le Boui-Boui, we love nothing more than welcoming a comedian who can turn shared memories into a living, laughing present, and that is exactly what happens when Félix Le Braz brings Flashback génération VHS to our stage. Our intimate Lyon room amplifies the warmth of his storytelling: you are close enough to feel every wink, every aside, every perfectly timed pause that turns a personal anecdote into a collective burst of recognition. The show’s concept taps into a universal nostalgia—the tactile world of tapes and tracking lines—yet it stays firmly rooted in today’s rhythm, with Félix switching gears between punchy one-liners and scenic narratives. From the moment the lights go down, the tone is playful, conversational, and a little mischievous, as if a friend just pulled a cassette from a shoebox and said, “You have to see this.” That sense of intimacy and immediacy is why Le Boui-Boui exists: to give artists the space to connect, and audiences the joy of feeling like the work is happening just for them, right here, right now.

Flashback génération VHS dives into a world many of us can still smell—the plastic cases of the neighborhood video store, the nerve-wracking wait while a tape rewinds, the heartbreak of discovering you recorded over a family birthday. Félix Le Braz mines the analog era for comic gold, and then he uses it to hold up a mirror to our current digital habits. He riffs on the way we binge shows today by contrasting them with Saturday-morning rituals, and he playfully name-checks the cultural landscape we all share: you’ll hear cheeky detours through Quotidien, Top Chef, Koh-Lanta, LOL: Qui rit, sort!, Mask Singer, and Drag Race France, set against the throwback charm of Club Dorothée and impromptu “home cinema” nights. The writing is nimble, the physicality precise—he pantomimes the delicate art of adjusting a VCR’s tracking like a conductor sculpting a symphony—and the audience becomes part of the ride. Expect the kind of observational set pieces that build and build: a cascade of micro-memories about mixtapes, first consoles, and schoolyard myths that culminates in a payoff both surprisingly tender and explosively funny.

Félix Le Braz right now: momentum, material, and a live-wire hour

From our vantage point at Le Boui-Boui, Félix Le Braz arrives in full creative motion. He is actively refining and expanding his live material, with Flashback génération VHS serving as a tight, forward-driving hour that showcases a writer-performer comfortable with both sharp jokes and long-form arcs. Audiences who have discovered him through his recent stand-up clips will recognize the clean premises and the generous crowd work, while regulars of the Lyon comedy scene will appreciate how he recalibrates each beat night after night, always chasing the truest laugh in the room. The show speaks to anyone who remembers the analog years, but it’s very much a contemporary piece: the rhythm feels current, the cultural references are fresh, and the point of view is that of a comic who has lived through both the glow of CRT screens and the glare of smartphone notifications. That double perspective gives the evening its spark. As a venue, we see how quickly word of mouth spreads when a set combines relatable nostalgia with new-school timing; there’s a buzz that lingers in the foyer after the lights come up, and with Félix Le Braz that buzz is unmistakably the sound of a comedian in his moment, turning shared history into shared laughter at Le Boui-Boui.
