Félix Le Braz at Le Boui-Boui

At Le Boui-Boui, we love nothing more than welcoming artists who turn intimacy into an advantage, and Félix Le Braz is exactly that kind of performer. With Flashback Generation VHS, he brings his clever, quick-witted storytelling to our close-up stage in Lyon, the kind of room where a raised eyebrow, a throwaway whisper, or a shared glance becomes part of the punchline. Our club’s proximity sharpens the timing and deepens the connection; you will hear every off-the-cuff aside, and feel the warm, spontaneous laughter that spreads row to row. Félix’s show is a nostalgic dive with a contemporary edge—perfect for a space like ours that lives and breathes live comedy, thrives on audience energy, and rewards performers who can juggle crowd work, character voices, and vividly drawn memories within arm’s reach of the front row. As he tours with Flashback Generation VHS and polishes new material in front of live audiences, we’re thrilled to host the version that only a small, spirited room like Le Boui-Boui can coax out: nimble, personal, and deliciously playful.

Inside Flashback Generation VHS

Flashback Generation VHS is Félix Le Braz at his most generous and inventive. He dissects the analog rites of passage that raised a whole generation—family camcorders with grainy time stamps, the ritual hunt through a neighborhood video club, the triumph and tragedy of a recorded-over tape—then shuffles those memories like cassettes in a plastic case. Expect the tactile soundtrack of an era: the soft clack of a VHS tray, the foggy buzz of cathode-ray static, and that fateful moment when tracking decides whether the evening will be cinema or snowstorm. In the room, it becomes a full-bodied experience; the jokes land, then echo, because the audience keeps recognizing themselves. Félix plays with recurring motifs—Be Kind, Rewind; Tracking; Play, Pause, Record—that punctuate the evening like chapter markers, creating the feeling of watching a mixtape of childhood, teen crushes, and awkward family gatherings spliced together with comic timing. It’s both a time capsule and a live reboot, where Félix’s sharp observations about the VHS era naturally segue into our streaming present: what we lost, what we gained, and what we might want to rewind just once more for the sheer joy of it.

From our vantage point at Le Boui-Boui, the momentum around Félix Le Braz is unmistakable. Flashback Generation VHS continues to travel, evolve, and resonate, and audiences here in Lyon bring a special electricity that Félix feeds on in the moment. He leans into the spontaneity—riffing on the way we used to “program” our evenings with a TV guide, teasing the universal fear of returning a tape un-rewound, and spinning crowd recollections into nimble new bits—while also delivering the meticulously crafted routines that anchor the show. You’ll hear affectionate jabs at the aesthetics of CRT screens, fast-forward romances that skip important scenes, and the social archaeology of the video-club counter, each element layered so that callbacks bloom later in the night. As he refines his material across the tour, Félix keeps the set fresh, agile, and interactive, the sort of living, breathing comedy that a room like ours amplifies. We invite you to join us at Le Boui-Boui to experience Flashback Generation VHS in its most immediate form—where Félix’s storytelling, our room’s intimacy, and your laughter combine to make a one-night-only version of the show that can’t be paused, replayed, or captured on tape.
