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

We are thrilled to welcome Félix Le Braz to the intimate stage of Le Boui-Boui in Lyon with his new show Flashback Generation VHS. In our cozy room, where laughter bounces off the walls and every seat feels close to the action, his nostalgic deep-dive is right at home. Expect the warm buzz of a full house as Félix rewinds to the analog era—when tracking lines danced across the screen, Friday nights meant a walk to the video rental counter, and a pencil was the universal tool for rescuing a cassette tape. From our vantage point, few themes spark instant complicity like shared memories, and Félix mines that collective past with precision, building playful bridges to our streaming present. He layers crowd work with keen observational beats, using our intimate acoustics to lean into whispers, accelerate into punchlines, and orchestrate crescendos that our audience knows and loves. With the heartbeat of Lyon just outside our door, Flashback Generation VHS promises the kind of live spark that only a room like ours can magnify.

About Félix Le Braz right now

As a performer, Félix Le Braz is in a moment of vibrant momentum, and we see that energy translating perfectly to Le Boui-Boui. His current artistic pulse blends affectionate retro storytelling with today’s sensibilities: the awkward charm of family camcorders, the ritual of carefully choosing a weekend tape, and the shared language of jingles, cover art, and blockbuster trailers that shaped a generation. At our venue, his stand-up tightens into a direct conversation—he probes the little myths that VHS culture created, then flips them to reflect on how we watch, share, and remember now. He’s honed a style that snaps from playful character work to crisp punchlines, the kind of rhythm that thrives in our close quarters. Félix brings fresh writing to the stage, sharpening his callbacks show after show, and he has been actively cultivating his audience with short-form bits and excerpts that resonate with anyone who’s ever waited for a rental to be returned, fast-forwarded through previews, or argued over who taped what on a Sunday night.

What excites us most about presenting Flashback Generation VHS at Le Boui-Boui is how Félix uses nostalgia not as a crutch but as a launchpad. He revisits the analog toolkit—tapes that jam, home-made labels, top-10 charts in the video store—and lands modern insights about patience, choice overload, and the way memories get “edited” over time. In our room, he plays the dynamics with skill: slow-burn storytelling that lets you see the room of your childhood, then a deft twist that catches the whole audience at once; riffy, elastic interactions that he steers with warmth; and a knack for turning personal anecdotes into collective revelations. The show is both a love letter to the late-twentieth-century living room and a sly autopsy of today’s on-demand habits, leaving space for audience recognition to bubble up into laughter. We’ve curated this date to amplify that chemistry—lights tight on Félix, sound tuned to catch every aside—so the crowd can savor a live comedy experience that feels handcrafted for Le Boui-Boui and for Lyon right now, in the here and now of a city that knows how to celebrate stories.
