Felix Le Braz installs Flashback Generation VHS at Le Boui-Boui

We at Le Boui-Boui are thrilled to welcome Felix Le Braz and his nostalgia-fueled Flashback Generation VHS to our intimate Lyon stage. From our viewpoint in the room, what stands out is the artist’s current momentum: a comedian who writes fast, tests material relentlessly, and thrives on the closeness of a club like ours, where every expression, pause, and callback lands with precision. While he tours this new hour across France, Felix Le Braz has been sharpening his point of view around the analog childhoods and teenage years that forged a generation, and the crowds flocking to our black-box space confirm how timely that lens feels. His recent stage work pivots between sharp autobiographical detail and playful observation of shared pop memories, and he has been teasing fresh bits in short clips and club sets that keep regulars buzzing before doors even open. In a city that loves quick wit and carefully crafted language, we can feel how his rhythm, timing, and spontaneous asides are hitting that sweet spot—lively, warm, and unafraid to improvise with the front row.

The room, the rhythm, and the VHS-fueled ride

Flashback Generation VHS was built for a venue like Le Boui-Boui: compact, responsive, and close enough that laughter loops right back to the stage. Expect a cascade of analog breadcrumbs—video-club cards, pencil-in-the-spool rescues, tape hiss, and the mythic “Be Kind, Rewind”—woven into a tightly paced hour that balances big set pieces with agile crowd work. Fans have been talking about standout routines often referred to as “Pause, Rewind, Play,” “Tracking Lines,” and “Vidéo Club Confessions,” alongside newer bites such as “Remote Wars” and “Cartoon Morning Rush,” which find their punchlines in living-room negotiations, after-school rituals, and the glorious chaos of communal screens. The show thrives on contrast: the clunky plastic of cassettes against today’s streaming abundance, the patience of waiting for recordings versus the instant gratification of the swipe. In our configuration, the laughs arrive in waves—first on the memory itself, then on the detail Felix Le Braz flips, and finally on the surprise button he adds just when you think the bit is over. The staging is deliberately lean, giving the performer space to stretch a premise, break it down, and rebuild it with a mischievous grin.

From the vantage point of our back row to the lip of the stage, we can confirm the show’s temperature rises quickly and stays there. Our tech team has balanced a warm light plot and clean sound so that every whisper, tape-click impression, and throwaway tag lands crisply. Felix Le Braz’s artistic present is buoyant: Flashback Generation VHS anchors his touring slate while he continues to spark new material in clubs and short-form sets, the kind of workshop energy that keeps each night uniquely alive. In Lyon, the Le Boui-Boui audience tends to reward precision, and he meets it with nimble transitions, gentle misdirection, and the occasional local nod that sets the room off. If you’re arriving early, our foyer hums with pre-show chatter—the perfect place to compare childhood channel lineups and argue over which Friday-night block raised you—before sliding into the room where the show’s pace does the rest. Seats are close, sightlines are clear, and the laughter is communal; it’s exactly where Flashback Generation VHS belongs, and exactly how we love to present it.
