Félix Le Braz at Le Boui-Boui: Flashback Generation VHS

From our stage at Le Boui-Boui in Lyon, we are thrilled to welcome Félix Le Braz with his new one-man show, Flashback Generation VHS. Our intimate room is built for this kind of storytelling: the lights low, the audience within arm’s reach, and every glance, pause, and aside landing with the crackle and warmth of an old cassette coming to life. In Flashback Generation VHS, Félix rewinds to an analog childhood of rental shops, clunky remotes, and home-recorded treasures, then fast-forwards to today’s streaming habits, inviting the crowd to compare memories and laugh at the glitches in our own timelines. Up close, you feel the craft—the way he layers punchlines like tracking lines on a tape, the way he pivots from quick-fire observational bits to longer confessions about family, schoolyard bravado, and epic movie nights gone hilariously wrong. At Le Boui-Boui, that proximity lets Félix lock eyes with the front row, riff on reactions, and build a collective nostalgia that feels as local as it is universal.

A night built for close-up comedy at Le Boui-Boui

What excites us most about Félix’s current artistic momentum is how alive his comedy feels in the room. Flashback Generation VHS is touring to packed houses, yet it keeps evolving, absorbing fresh details from each city and each audience. Recent crowd-favorite bits he’s been road-testing—like “VHS vs. Streaming,” “Be Kind, Rewind,” and “Camcorder Dad”—show how he blends precise writing with playful improvisation, capturing the squeal of a tape chewing itself to ribbons or the ritual of labeling a cassette with wonky handwriting. Here at Le Boui-Boui, those textures amplify: the micro-pauses, the crackling sound cues, the way he mimics a VCR’s mechanical clunk with nothing but breath and body. Félix also leans into the present—quirks of algorithmic life, the tyranny of infinite choice, the way nostalgia curates our moods—and the contrast charges the room. As a venue devoted to sharp, personable comedy, we love how he turns our stage into a living time capsule, where a punchline can be both a memory and a new discovery.

On the night, expect Félix to build his set like a home-made compilation tape, with chapters that click into place and leave space for surprise. Segments such as “Tracking Lines,” “The Saturday Rental Rush,” and “After-School Dubs” come packed with visual mimicry, sound design conjured from his own voice, and that signature blend of tenderness and irony. The show feels cinematic without ever breaking the live-wire intimacy that our room is known for: he’ll pause to take an audience poll about first movie crushes, leap into a physical reenactment of a living-room stunt gone wrong, then slip into an unexpectedly sincere memory that ends in a laugh you can feel in your ribs. Our team tunes the room for clarity and warmth so that every aside hits, and seating keeps you close to the action, creating a shared rhythm between performer and audience. If you grew up with tape hiss in your ears—or you’re curious what that era meant—Flashback Generation VHS turns those small rituals into big laughs, and from our vantage point at Le Boui-Boui, you’ll catch every frame.
