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

At Le Boui-Boui, we are delighted to welcome Félix Le Braz with Flashback génération VHS, a show tailor-made for our intimate room and its love of razor-sharp, story-driven stand-up. From the first seconds, the stage becomes a living videoclub: tape clicks, cathode-ray glow, and the tactile nostalgia of rewinding and fast-forwarding through childhood. We program this evening because it speaks to cross-generational audiences—those who grew up with cassettes and those who only know “buffering”—and Félix bridges the two with playful comparisons, physical comedy, and a keen eye for the way technology reshapes daily life. The proximity of Le Boui-Boui heightens the experience: every facial expression lands, every callback ripples across the room, and Félix’s crowd work can spiral into hilarious micro-stories that feel unique to Lyon. Expect affectionate digs at schoolyard rituals, taped-over family holidays, and the social rules of the living room TV—complete with the mythic remote that always needed new batteries at the worst possible time.

Current artistic momentum

Félix Le Braz arrives at Le Boui-Boui in strong artistic form, with a season marked by steady stage time and a growing audience for his short-form clips. His writing in Flashback génération VHS mixes affectionate period detail with contemporary punchlines, touching on how we binge now versus how we “zapped” then, and how shared screens created a common language. Without giving away surprises, he has fun reframing today’s pop-culture touchstones through an analog lens—winking at émissions like LOL, qui rit sort!, Zen, Popcorn, Hot Ones, and even Drag Race France, then imagining how we might have discovered them in the era of fuzzy tracking and Friday-night rentals. That perspective fuels a dynamic hour built on character snapshots, brisk act-outs, and the kind of narrative arcs that thrive in a close-knit space like ours. He leans into sound cues and visual suggestions you can practically hear—the whirr of a tape, the clunk of a VCR—while keeping the pace contemporary and the audience constantly involved.

Presenting Flashback génération VHS at Le Boui-Boui lets us offer what our room does best: a direct line between performer and audience, where nostalgia becomes a springboard for fresh, local-in-the-moment laughter. Félix thrives on that immediacy; he teases out memories from the first rows, turns them into impromptu callbacks, and folds them back into the show’s bigger journey from analog childhood to streaming adulthood. The set thrives on the acoustics and intimacy of our Lyon stage—compact, precise, and warm—so each beat lands with the clarity of a perfect punchline. Whether you bring friends who once swapped tapes after school or younger allies who’ve never touched a rewind button, the night promises a shared language of jokes, references, and that unmistakable VHS charm. We’re proud to host Félix Le Braz for this run at Le Boui-Boui and to spotlight a comedian whose present-tense momentum meets a past-tense universe that still feels very much alive in the room.
