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

At Le Boui-Boui, we love shows that feel tailor-made for our intimate, laughter-first room, and Félix Le Braz arrives with exactly that spirit in Flashback Generation VHS. From the moment the lights dip, his stage presence fills our compact venue with a warm, mischievous energy, the kind of connection that works best just a handful of meters from the performer. The show taps into the analog memories so many of us share—video clubs, taped-over home movies, the satisfying click of a plastic case—while spinning those nostalgic flashes into sharp, contemporary stand-up. As a venue built around proximity and punchlines, we are delighted to host an hour where storytelling, observational humor, and quickfire callbacks ricochet across the room. Félix plays with the physicality of the VHS era—tracking lines, rewinds, fast-forwards—as a language for modern life: how we remember, how we misremember, and how comedy can rewind a scene until it lands just right. Expect a crowd-ready set that invites eye contact, riffs in the moment, and leaves you sure you saw it in glorious grain.

What to expect on stage and in the artist’s latest news

Flashback Generation VHS is Félix Le Braz’s affectionate time machine, a live mixtape of slices from childhood salons and neighborhood video shops, spun into smart, current stand-up for a digital audience. In our room, his material feels both playful and precise: he toggles between character-driven bits and razor-edged one-liners, always pushing the narrative forward as if pressing the front panel of a classic deck. The show is punctuated by standout pieces that fans have been buzzing about in clubs: “Be Kind, Rewind,” a crowd-inclusive riff on collective memory and mislabeled tapes; “Tracking Lines,” where he calibrates life’s little glitches with on-the-fly physical comedy; and “Camcorder Confessional,” a sly series of snapshots that morphs family footage into a universal coming-of-age reel. Félix often weaves in off-the-cuff tags tailored to the room, making each performance feel unique to Le Boui-Boui. It’s the kind of set that rewards attention, lands big laughs, and builds to a playful crescendo that feels like opening a long-forgotten tape and finding pure gold inside.

From our vantage point at Le Boui-Boui, Félix Le Braz’s artistic momentum is unmistakable. Between tour stops, he’s been testing fresh bits in clubs and sharing short-form ideas that complement the VHS universe he’s built on stage—quick, punchy pieces like “Remote Duel,” “Video Club Clerk,” and “Fast-Forward Fridays” that showcase his knack for turning tiny, tactile details into crowd-pleasing payoffs. That ongoing workshop energy is exactly why Flashback Generation VHS feels so alive: it’s a polished hour fueled by new tags, evolving callbacks, and a generous dose of playful interaction. Our room enhances the effect; seated close to the action, you can catch every smirk, every rewind, every blink-and-you-miss-it aside. Le Boui-Boui’s stage favors comedians who listen, respond, and tailor their rhythm to the audience, and Félix is a standout in that regard—unafraid to slow the reel for a sly pause or punch the jokes in triple-time when the room is roaring. If you’ve been craving a show that marries clever nostalgia with present-tense electricity, this is the one to experience up close at Le Boui-Boui.
