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

Le Boui-Boui presents Flashback Generation VHS

At Le Boui-Boui, we are delighted to welcome Felix Le Braz with Flashback Generation VHS, a show that feels tailor-made for our intimate room and its close-knit energy. Our stage thrives on comedians who build a direct, playful rapport with audiences, and this nostalgic deep-dive into tapes, tracking lines, and living-room rituals of the 80s and 90s is a perfect fit. In our brick-and-mortar cocoon, every raised eyebrow and quick aside lands with immediacy; you can feel the warmth of recognition when a punchline resurrects a long-forgotten jingle or the rite of rushing to the videoclub before it closed. The comic timing of Felix Le Braz benefits from the proximity our venue offers: the quick ad-lib with the front row, the precise sound effects mimicking a tape that needs a good blow of air, and the crowd’s communal laugh when a shared memory is nailed just right. This is exactly the kind of living, breathing connection we love to host at Le Boui-Boui, and it’s why Flashback Generation VHS has been on our radar as a highlight of the season in Lyon.

Felix Le Braz’s current momentum

From our vantage point backstage, Felix Le Braz arrives with strong momentum, sharpening Flashback Generation VHS on the road while regularly dropping new bits online that keep his audience buzzing. Recent sketches such as Soirée Vidéoclub, Gentil, Rembobinez, and Zapping 1997 have circulated widely on social platforms, each one condensing the show’s spirit into a bite-size moment: a riff on the sacred ritual of labeling cassettes, the etiquette of recording over a cousin’s tape, and the family negotiations around the remote. What we appreciate most is how he folds these fresh micro-sketches back into the longer live narrative, making each performance feel like a definitive “now” version of the material. At Le Boui-Boui, our technical team leans into his pace with crisp sound cues and a minimalistic light design that lets his physicality and sense of musical rhythm shine. The audience here can expect a set that evolves in real time, with Felix Le Braz calibrating callbacks based on the room’s unique personality—one of the luxuries of playing a venue built for conversation, surprise, and rapid-fire laughter.

On stage at Le Boui-Boui, Flashback Generation VHS unfolds like a rewind-and-play odyssey, moving from the tactile pleasures of cassette culture to the formative social codes of pre-streaming youth. Felix Le Braz threads together the ritual of Friday-night rentals, the schoolyard bartering of tapes, the parental “record-and-pause” ballet during ad breaks, and the mischief of homemade compilations that became teenage soundtracks. Expect physical comedy that mimics the glitch and wobble of worn-out tapes, quick character sketches of videoclub clerks and opinionated relatives, and audience moments where a shared memory—first camcorder, first dubbed mixtape—turns into a spontaneous tag. In our room, you’ll catch the tiny details: a glance timed to a nostalgia sting, a perfectly paced silence before a slam-dunk reveal, a final flourish that clicks into place like the satisfying clunk of a cassette closing. We encourage you to arrive a little early, settle into the cozy ambiance, and let the room’s closeness amplify the interplay between performer and crowd. With Felix Le Braz steering the evening, the laughter doesn’t just celebrate the past—it also captures the thrill of live comedy in the present, where a punchline can feel as immediate and vivid as hitting play for the very first time.
