Felix Le Braz brings Flashback Generation VHS to Le Boui-Boui

At Le Boui-Boui in Lyon, we relish performances that turn our intimate room into a living, laughing time capsule, and that is precisely what happens when Felix Le Braz steps on stage with Flashback Generation VHS. From our vantage point just meters from the audience, we see him rewind collective memory to those evenings of blinking clocks, clunky remotes, and the ritual of “Be Kind, Rewind.” He blends observational punchlines with playful physicality, building a night that feels both warmly familiar and deliciously sharp. The interactivity shines in our close quarters: crowd suggestions, throwaway one-liners born from a glance at a spectator’s reaction, and callbacks that ripple through the room. Felix frames the VHS era against today’s algorithmic feeds, joking about how we binged before streaming existed, and he peppers in winks to recent pop-culture staples—think the social buzz around LOL: Qui Rit, Sort!, the foodie fervor of Top Chef, or the hot-seat interviews of Hot Ones France—so the nostalgia never feels dusty. It’s a show that crackles like tape just before the tracking kicks in, and our stage is the perfect place to watch him press play.

The artist’s momentum and what to expect on our stage

Welcoming Felix Le Braz, we’re hosting an artist who is resolutely present-tense: he continues to hone fresh material in front of real audiences, and Flashback Generation VHS is the centerpiece of that momentum. From our side of the lights, what stands out is his precision: tight setups, clean tags, and a rhythm that lets a tender memory land before a punchline snaps it into focus. He delights in the tactile quirks of analog—tape hiss, after-school TV blocks, the panic of recording over a family birthday—then cross-cuts to today’s glossy formats and viral formats. Expect playful detours that nod to recent cultural touchstones such as Drag Race France or the chaotic creativity of Burger Quiz, folded into a larger story about how we watch, share, and remember. Our room amplifies these contrasts: in a space as intimate as Le Boui-Boui, you catch the wink, the shared shrug, the spontaneous ad-libs that can’t be replicated on a screen. Felix thrives in that closeness, and it’s where his material feels most immediate and alive.

For this date at Le Boui-Boui, we’ve built the evening around the tactile pleasures that define the show’s universe. The pre-show buzz is a chorus of whispered “Do you remember when…?” as guests trade memories of taped-over cartoons, late-night action movies, and the neighborhood video store. On stage, Felix renders those details with affectionate accuracy and a contemporary eye, a balance that makes Flashback Generation VHS resonate beyond pure nostalgia. You’ll hear the laughter of recognition, but also the thrill of discovery as he reframes the past for today. Our team leans into that energy: crisp sound, a warm, focused light, and the kind of close sightlines that turn every expression into part of the joke. Whether you grew up cueing up cassettes or discovered the 90s through memes, the set plays like a cultural mixtape—spontaneous, personal, and alive in the room. Arrive ready to share in the conversation; in our space, the crowd becomes the final ingredient that Felix uses to remaster memory, live.
