At Le Boui-Boui: Flashback Generation VHS takes the stage

At Le Boui-Boui, we are delighted to welcome Felix Le Braz with Flashback Generation VHS, a finely crafted evening that turns our intimate Lyon stage into a time machine. From the first beat, the show taps into the tactile magic of the analog era—those grainy family recordings, the hum of a tape rewinding, the collective ritual of video rental nights—and channels it into sharp, contemporary stand-up. Our room’s close-up sightlines and crisp acoustics let audiences feel the precision of every pause and punchline, and Felix thrives in this proximity. He addresses the crowd with the ease of a confidant, juggling personal memories and shared cultural touchstones, and transforming the glow of the CRT age into a living, breathing conversation. Here at Le Boui-Boui, that conversation lands inches from the microphone, with laughter bouncing off the brick and wood, and nostalgia sharpened by the immediacy of live performance.

Felix Le Braz arrives at Le Boui-Boui with his current hour in full flight, a set that evolves night after night as he layers new tags and redirects memories into fresh angles. Flashback Generation VHS plays like a mixtape of lived moments and cultural ephemera, stitched together with the rhythm and musicality of a seasoned comic. Expect stand-up sequences that feel like standalone sketches—Felix has been field-testing gems such as The Tracking Button Tango, Saturday Morning Warriors, Tape Eater Panic, Rental Card Confessions, Be Kind, Rewind 2.0, and The Parental Lock Chronicles. Each piece dives into a different corner of the cassette cosmos: the tension of a tape caught in the machine, the earnest morality of after-school programming, the price of late fees, the strange intimacy of a fuzzy home video. Throughout the set, he nods to the landmarks of a generation—cartoon blocks, game cartridges, living-room screenings—while training a contemporary comedic lens on how we curate our identities today, both online and off. It’s not just nostalgia; it’s a live re-edit of the footage that made us, spliced with present-day wit.

An intimate Lyon night with Felix Le Braz

Le Boui-Boui’s stage is built for this kind of storytelling: minimal distance, maximum connection, and a room that rewards detail. Felix uses that scale to pull the audience into the scene—miming the stubborn jig of a misaligned head-cleaner, orchestrating call-and-response reminiscent of a communal viewing party, and pivoting seamlessly between small, domestic memories and the big-screen myths that framed them. The result is a show that feels exclusive to our venue and to this city, where a single glance, a slight tilt of the mic stand, or a perfectly timed silence can earn as much applause as a killer line. Our lighting and sound design keep the focus firmly on Felix—warm tones, clean cues, no frills—so every beat of Flashback Generation VHS plays in pristine relief. Whether you remember the plastic clack of a VHS case or you’re discovering that world for the first time, the Le Boui-Boui experience amplifies Felix Le Braz’s craft: quick, vivid, and irresistibly human. Come ready to laugh, to recognize yourself in the blur of the tracking bar, and to let the room carry you from the analog past to a very live, very present punchline.
