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

At Le Boui-Boui in Lyon, we’re thrilled to open our stage to Felix Le Braz for Flashback Generation VHS, a joyous deep-dive into the crackle, grain, and glorious glitches of an analog childhood. Our intimate room is built for this kind of time-travel comedy: close enough to catch every raised eyebrow, perfectly tuned to the hush before a punchline, and responsive to the waves of laughter that follow. Felix draws the audience into a living room of yesteryear—static-laced TV logos, jingles that get stuck in your head, the clunk of a plastic cassette being pushed into the deck—and then he playfully rewires it all with today’s sensibilities. Expect quick-fire character work, clever callbacks, and a keen eye for detail that turns ordinary memories into live-action cartoons. At Le Boui-Boui, we value artists who use the room like an instrument; Felix does just that, sliding between reminiscence and razor-sharp observation, riffing with the crowd, and using the cozy scale of our space to create the feeling of a collective, conspiratorial sleepover.

Artist spotlight: recent sketches and onstage discoveries

Felix Le Braz arrives at Le Boui-Boui in full creative stride, sharpening material on the road and feeding his set with fresh ideas sparked by nightly audience exchanges. In Flashback Generation VHS, he threads together fast-paced routines and narrative beats that feel as contemporary as they are nostalgic. If you’ve caught him recently, you’ll recognize how adeptly he evolves his bits from room to room—our favorite recurring moments include sketches like “Remote Control Wars,” a playful battle of channel-surfing egos; “Tracking Lines,” a mischievous ode to those crooked screen bars that drove everyone to the rewind button; and “Friday Night Video Club,” a character piece that turns the neighborhood rental counter into a mini-society. These are not just callbacks to an era; they’re modern portraits of how technology shapes family dynamics and friendships. Felix’s current momentum is palpable: he’s workshopping new tags and transitions, testing fresh premises about mixtapes, dubbed-over blockbusters, and the social etiquette of the fast-forward button. The set you’ll see at Le Boui-Boui captures an artist in motion, tightening craft while keeping the room spontaneous and alive.

What makes Flashback Generation VHS such a perfect fit for Le Boui-Boui is the show’s tactile, hands-on atmosphere. Felix plays with rhythm—snappy edits, hard cuts, and freeze-frames mimed onstage—so that the audience feels like they’re collectively handling an old cassette, stopping and starting to savor each frame. In our venue, he leans into that sense of shared discovery: he’ll read the room, jump tracks for a playful detour, then hit “play” again on a storyline that gathers pace as laughter builds. Expect a smart blend of pop-cultural archaeology and personal confession, with nimble detours into the oddities of school TV carts, late-night ad breaks, and the ritual of labeling tapes with felt-tip pens. The show’s heart, though, is timeless: how a generation learned to swap stories, build taste, and fall in love with cinema the long way round—by rewinding. At Le Boui-Boui, we’re proud to host a comedian who brings that collective memory home, turning our stage into a neighborhood screening room where the punchlines arrive as vividly as the flicker on the screen.
