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

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

At Le Boui-Boui, we have a soft spot for shows that feel personal, immersive, and joyfully mischievous—and that is exactly what Félix Le Braz delivers with Flashback - Génération VHS. Our intimate room in Lyon is designed for performers who thrive on proximity and quicksilver exchanges with the crowd. Félix’s timing, warmth, and razor-sharp observational streak slot seamlessly into the club’s heartbeat, turning each performance into a lively conversation rather than a distant monologue. The premise of his new set—rewinding to the tapes, consoles, jingles, and awkward family videos that shaped a generation—hits our audience in all the right places, from those who grew up taping over cartoons to those just discovering the delicious clunk of analog. On our stage, he steers that nostalgia with a modern wink, layering references with present-day punchlines and turning grainy memories into living, crackling comedy.

About the show: analog memories with a modern spark

Flashback - Génération VHS is not a museum piece, and that’s why it plays so well at Le Boui-Boui. Félix Le Braz doesn’t just point at the past—he invites you to step inside it and laugh at how it still shapes the way we text, date, parent, and procrastinate. Expect affectionate deep dives into video-store rituals, the sacred art of “tracking,” and the heroism of rewinding with a pencil, stitched to crisp, contemporary beats about today’s scroll culture. He spikes the journey with bite-size bits that fans have been buzzing about in clubs and online, including VHS vs Streaming, Rewinding With a Pencil, Canal+ en Crypté Night, and Saturday Morning Tapes. The textures of the era—cassette labels, fragile game cartridges, landline etiquette—become springboards for the quick audience interplay our room loves. Félix’s craft lies in letting those tactile details trigger a wave of recognition while his present-tense punchlines keep the tempo high and the belly laughs steady from the front row to the back.

This season, we’re thrilled to host Félix as he pushes his comedic palette forward with new writing and tighter, more playful structures built around his crowd work. He’s been refining fresh material between club sets and short-form videos, seeding recurring bits like Minitel 3615 Nostalgie, Camcorder Kids, and Be Kind Rewind into a full-length arc that lands with both long-time fans and first-timers. What we witness at Le Boui-Boui is a performer who has found the sweet spot between nostalgia and now: he riffs on family lore and analog hacks, then pivots to life in an age of algorithms without missing a beat. That balance makes the show a magnet for mixed-age groups—friends’ nights out, date nights, and colleagues on a post-work laugh mission—because everyone finds a reflection in the set. For us as a venue, it’s a joy to amplify a voice that can make a tiny detail like a worn tape label feel epic, then snap the room back to the present with a single, deftly placed punchline. Flashback - Génération VHS is an invitation to remember—and to laugh at how brilliantly we remember—together, in real time, in a space made for the spark of live comedy.
