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

At Le Boui-Boui in Lyon, we take pride in welcoming performers whose shows feel tailor‑made for our intimate room, and Felix Le Braz arrives with exactly that kind of experience in Flashback Generation VHS. From the moment our doors open, we set the tone for a nostalgic, high‑energy night where the glow of old‑school tapes meets the immediacy of modern stand‑up. Felix Le Braz is a natural fit for our stage: close to the audience, agile with crowd energy, and deft at weaving personal memories with the collective pop‑culture archive we all share. Expect a playful tour through the rituals of a pre‑streaming adolescence—rewinders humming, tracking wheels turning, dubbed action heroes, and the terror of taping over a family event. We’ve prepared a setting that lets his timing and storytelling ring clear, with the kind of proximity that makes punchlines land harder and callbacks feel like winks between friends. For Lyon’s comedy lovers, this is a chance to rediscover the crackle of analog days with a performer who knows how to turn every reference into a live, shared moment.

What Flashback Generation VHS feels like in our room

Our audience at Le Boui-Boui loves when a show mixes vivid storytelling with sharp observational bite, and that is the sweet spot of Flashback Generation VHS. Felix Le Braz riffs on the eternal blinking 00:00 of the VCR clock, the sacred choreography of Friday‑night video‑club runs, and the household diplomacy of “who holds the remote” as if he’s narrating memories we forgot we had. He plays with the physicality of VHS—tapes that jam, sleeves with wild cover art, the click‑clack of eject buttons—and uses them to build comedic set pieces that rise and fall like a perfectly edited montage. The room’s cozy scale invites him to improvise: he’ll test how many of us remember stretching antennae for a cleaner image, debate the best late‑night TV dubs, or mime the panic of a tape that won’t rewind five minutes before a birthday recording. If your recent watchlist includes the punchy, contemporary rhythms you see on Paname Comedy Club, the fast‑cut club energy of Le Fridge, or the storytelling spirit championed by Montreux Comedy, you’ll recognize the modern pace with which he handles nostalgia here—quick on transitions, generous with tags, and precise in callbacks that stitch the night together.

Beyond this stop at Le Boui-Boui, Felix Le Braz’s artistic agenda is lively, and that momentum carries straight onto our stage. He has been actively road‑testing fresh material in clubs around France, honing the VHS premise with new detours into camcorder home movies, mixtapes made for crushes, and the unsung heroes of family tech support. That constant workshop spirit gives our audience the thrill of immediacy: sections of Flashback Generation VHS breathe differently each night, with topical asides and in‑the‑moment crowd exchanges that feel tailor‑stitched for Lyon. We’ve seen how he integrates online feedback from recent short‑form clips into tighter bits, how he keeps the through‑line of the show intact while letting individual chunks flex and expand in response to the room. If you’ve been following the evolving standards of francophone stand‑up showcased in platforms like Paname Comedy Club and Le Fridge—snappy premises, crystalline tags, and a conversational, up‑close tone—you’ll find that Felix Le Braz channels the same contemporary clarity while giving it a warm, analog heart. At Le Boui-Boui, that blend of today’s timing with yesterday’s artifacts turns Flashback Generation VHS into more than a nostalgia trip; it becomes a living conversation between eras, made electric by the neighborly closeness of our space.
