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

At Le Boui-Boui, we love the kind of live comedy that turns a room into a shared memory, and that is exactly what Félix Le Braz delivers with Flashback Generation VHS. In our intimate black-box space, his nostalgia-fueled storytelling takes on a vivid, cinematic texture: the soft hum of a VCR, the wobble of a tape that needs tracking, the family living room where Saturday nights became premieres. From the moment Félix steps onto our stage, the show becomes a time machine powered by crowd energy and razor-sharp observation. He teases out moments everyone recognizes—birthday camcorder footage, worn-out cassettes passed between classmates, the ritual of pressing pause to freeze a favorite frame—then snaps them into today’s streaming world with whip-smart punchlines. Flashback Generation VHS is designed for closeness, and our room’s scale lets Félix work the tiniest eyebrow raise, the softest whisper, and the biggest laugh with surgical precision, turning every seat into the best seat in the house.

Current artistic momentum, on our stage right now

Félix Le Braz arrives at Le Boui-Boui in the heart of a creative burst, touring new stand-up that captures analog childhoods and modern digital habits with equal affection. Audiences who follow his stage work will recognize how he’s been honing fresh sequences—tight, titled bits that he rolls out like chapters on a cherished tape. In Flashback Generation VHS, listen for the playful mechanics of Mode Lecture / Mode Pause, the cultural archaeology of Be Kind, Rewind, the family portrait comedy of Camcorder Dad, the tech face-off in VHS vs Streaming, and the video-store misadventures of Late Fees Forever. These recurring pieces give the show a spine while leaving space for Félix’s spontaneous crowd work, which sparkles especially well in our room. He invites you to shout out the first tapes you owned, the covers that scared you, the animated openings you can still hum—and he riffs in the moment, weaving each answer into a quick, personal story. This living, elastic approach is part of his current artistic DNA: Félix is crafting a show that evolves city by city, letting club audiences like ours help sharpen the timing, deepen the callbacks, and push the nostalgia beyond simple reference into genuine, affecting comedy.

For us at Le Boui-Boui, hosting Félix Le Braz is about creating the exact conditions where this material thrives. The compact distance between stage and audience amplifies his character work—the clerk with the barcode scanner, the sibling monopolizing the remote, the teacher who confiscates a tape like it’s contraband—and lets visual detail become laugh lines of their own. Our sound is tuned for the rhythms of stand-up, from quiet asides to explosive tags, so when a set piece like Tracking Lines lands, the room catches every beat of the act-out and the aftershock of laughter. Expect a run-time that feels brisk because Félix builds momentum: a careful stack of 80s and 90s touchstones (arcades, cassette adapters, after-school reruns) colliding with contemporary habits (algorithmic queues, autoplay hangs, cloud storage mishaps). He plays with contrasts—scarcity versus endless choice, ritual versus convenience—and keeps the pace high with quick jump-cuts between voices and perspectives. We’ve seen how audiences in Lyon respond to this blend of warmth, precision, and playful interactivity; it suits our theatre’s heartbeat. Whether you grew up demagnetizing tapes or discovered these relics through curiosity, Flashback Generation VHS at Le Boui-Boui makes the analog past feel fresh, funny, and gloriously present.
