Le Boui-Boui presents Félix Le Braz — Flashback Generation VHS

At Le Boui-Boui, we love artists who can turn a room into a time machine, and Félix Le Braz does exactly that with Flashback Generation VHS. From the moment the lights go down in our intimate space, he draws the audience into a warm, analog-tinted bubble where the whirr of a tape deck, the tracking lines on a tired cassette, and the ritual of the video-club visit become the raw material for a joyous, fast-paced, and highly interactive evening. Our stage suits him perfectly: close enough to catch every side-eye and ad‑lib, precise enough in sound and light to bring out the distinct textures he plays with when he mimics machines, commercials, and the unmistakable pop culture of the cassette era. He thrives on our proximity; he reads the room, builds a rapport, and then pivots into riffs that feel tailor‑made for the night. For us as a venue, it’s a thrill to watch how he layers nostalgia with sharp, contemporary observation, making Flashback Generation VHS both a love letter to a bygone format and a very current piece of live comedy.

Artistic momentum and fresh material on our stage

Félix Le Braz arrives at Le Boui-Boui with momentum and a creator’s curiosity that keeps each performance vividly alive. He’s been refining new segments in clubs across the country and online, where short-form clips capture the quick-change energy that defines his craft. Fans will recognize the playful architecture of his set, and the way he nods to recurring bits he has been teasing under titles like “Be Kind, Rewind,” “Tracking Lines,” and “Friday Night at the Video Club,” sketches that braid personal memory with cultural snapshots. On social platforms, his recent web pieces about family movie nights, doomed school projects recorded over crucial tapes, and the strange etiquette of lending cassettes have sparked lively exchanges, and that conversational spirit carries into the show here. On our stage he takes time to improvise with the front rows, riffing on which films the crowd would rescue from the attic and which tape they wore out as teenagers. What we value most in his current artistic form is the balance: he’s writing with precision, but he’s also leaving doors open for the night’s chemistry to flow through. That makes Flashback Generation VHS at Le Boui-Boui the kind of set you can see more than once and still be surprised.

The room at Le Boui-Boui is built for this sort of ride—compact, attentive, and technically tuned to let physical comedy, character work, and sound design sparkle without overwhelming the storytelling. Félix Le Braz uses the full footprint of the stage, dropping quick-fire call-backs, mimed slow‑motion pauses, and those tactile “click-stop-rewind” rhythms that tap straight into the communal memory of the audience. Expect a structure that unfolds like a favorite cassette case: chapters you can instantly picture, from the ritual of choosing a tape to the shared panic when the VCR chews your best recording, all reimagined with a modern twist that speaks to how we watch, share, and archive today. As hosts, we lean into the experience: clear sightlines from every seat, a welcoming team to guide you in, and pacing that keeps the energy buoyant from the first welcome to the last laugh. Flashback Generation VHS is a perfect fit for our programming—generous in audience interaction, rich in detail, and powered by a performer whose present-day creativity makes the past feel thrillingly new. Whether you’re a seasoned comedy-goer or stepping into Le Boui-Boui for the first time, this date with Félix Le Braz is built to be the kind of night you’ll want to rewind in your mind all the way home.
