Le Boui-Boui presents Felix Le Braz - Flashback Generation VHS

At Le Boui-Boui, we champion intimate, up-close comedy that thrives on sharp writing, quicksilver timing, and genuine connection. That’s precisely why we’re thrilled to host Felix Le Braz with his new show, Flashback Generation VHS. Designed for a room like ours—where a raised eyebrow lands as clearly as a punchline—this set is a playful, high-energy dive into the analog years that shaped a generation. Our compact stage puts Felix within whispering distance of the front row, an ideal setup for his conversational rhythm, crowd work, and physical flourishes. Expect a warm, convivial atmosphere: the kind where laughter rolls from one side of the room to the other and every callback feels personal. In keeping with our curatorial mission, this booking brings a timely angle on nostalgia to Lyon’s comedy lovers, while also giving Felix the proximity he needs to riff, improvise, and tailor his material to the living pulse of the night.

On stage at Le Boui-Boui: what the audience will experience

Flashback Generation VHS is a stand-up time machine fueled by memory, mischief, and the whir of a tape rewinding. Felix Le Braz blends storytelling with character sketches, slicing through the era of video clubs, Saturday-night rentals, and the family TV altar where everyone argued about who forgot to rewind. In our room, you’ll catch the little things that make his craft sparkle: the sound effects of tracking lines, the exaggerated body language of dubbed action heroes, the click and clunk of plastic cartridges, the ritual of blowing on a tape that obviously didn’t need it. Felix plays with collective memory—channel surfing, late-night discoveries, fast-forwarding through trailers—while weaving in contemporary references that keep the material fresh. The result is a generational handshake: older fans relive the fumbling glory of analog, and younger audiences get a crash course in why those fuzzy artifacts still matter to the way we watch, binge, and scroll today. From the first lights-up to the last tag, it’s an hour built for laughter, recognition, and the joy of hearing the room gasp, “Oh yes, I remember that.”

Programming Felix Le Braz at Le Boui-Boui also means welcoming an artist who’s actively in motion—touring, honing, and renewing material with the kind of agility that today’s comedy landscape demands. Flashback Generation VHS is more than a concept; it’s a living set that Felix keeps polishing on the road, drawing energy from the audience and reshaping stories night after night. Fans who follow the contemporary scene—from the quick-fire club spirit you’ll recognize in Le Fridge to the mainstream polish of Jamel Comedy Club, the festival bite of Montreux Comedy, or the observational wit that often pops on Quotidien—will find plenty to love in his approach. Our stage gives him the freedom to lean into physical comedy one moment and tight observational beats the next, flipping between characters and point-of-view shifts with an editor’s precision. In Lyon, we’re proud to offer a room where comedians can take those risks in real time, and Felix uses that freedom to conjure a shared memory palace for the analog era—one punchline at a time, one rewind at a time, and always with the audience firmly in the driver’s seat.
