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

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

At Le Boui-Boui, we love the electric crackle that happens when a comedian and an audience meet with nothing but a microphone and a shared memory to light the room. That’s exactly why we are thrilled to host Félix Le Braz and his new show, Flashback Generation VHS. In our intimate Lyon setting—up close, nimble, and perfectly tuned for stand-up—Félix dives into the analog age with a warmth and precision that slot right into our venue’s DNA. He is part of that rare breed of performer who can turn a half-remembered ad jingle, a family camcorder mishap, or the ritual of the video rental into a living, laughing portrait. Across the country, Félix has been drawing audiences who want to revisit the tactile rhythm of the pre-streaming world, and here at Le Boui-Boui we’re excited to put that energy within arm’s reach. His current momentum is unmistakable: fresh dates added, word-of-mouth growing, and new material surfacing every week as he fine-tunes a set that thrives on audience recognition and surprise. For our stage, he’s bringing precisely the kind of storytelling and comic timing that make a small room feel like a time machine.

Inside the spirit and structure of Flashback Generation VHS

Flashback Generation VHS is Félix Le Braz at his most playful and precise, shaping the quirks of an entire era into living scenes. Expect the textured pleasures of the videoclub—the worn plastic cases, the hand-scribbled return dates, the ritual scan of a shelf before a Friday night. Expect the clatter of a VCR chewing tape, the desperate fix of “tracking,” and the way a single remote could control the mood of a whole household. Within this stand-up architecture, Félix threads character work and quickfire storytelling: the officious store clerk policing late fees, the bootleg cousin with fuzzy copies, the parent convinced they can outsmart the timer recording, and the kid who knows the sacred geometry of a TV guide. In our room, these routines land with detail and bounce, and they come shaped into polished beats he has been honing on the road. Keep an ear out for the crowd-favorite bits “Pause/Play,” “Retour Vidéoclub,” “Mode Lecture/Enregistrement,” and “Télécommande Universelle,” where he wrings new laughs from old buttons. The show moves like a tape that’s been watched to perfection: no dead air, just human snapshots rewound and replayed until they ring true and funny in equal measure.

Hosting Félix Le Braz at Le Boui-Boui also means presenting an artist in a lively creative moment. Offstage, he has been sharing compact, nostalgia-forward sketches that echo the show’s heartbeat and feed directly back into his live writing. Recent pieces like “Auto-Tracking” and “Sticker ‘Ne pas enregistrer’” distill the strange etiquette of the analog years into crisp, shareable scenes, and his short-form series “Cassette Stories” continues to pop up with new entries that spark the same grin we see in the room. On tour, he keeps introducing fresh callbacks and transitions—those sly rewinds that tie separate memories into a single, satisfying storyline—so each performance breathes differently. In our space, that flexibility is a gift: Félix calibrates to audience reactions, lets laughter lead him deeper into a memory, and then snaps back with a punchline that feels both inevitable and surprising. For us at Le Boui-Boui, that’s the essence of stand-up done right: a sharp voice, a responsive crowd, and a venue small enough to feel the beats as they click into place. With Flashback Generation VHS, Félix arrives not just with a theme, but with a living catalogue of moments that keep evolving in front of you, laugh after laugh.
