Félix Le Braz - Flashback - Génération Vhs - Le Boui Boui Lyon

Le Boui-Boui welcomes Félix Le Braz

At Le Boui-Boui, we are delighted to host Félix Le Braz with his nostalgia-charged show Flashback Generation VHS. Our intimate room in Lyon is built for this kind of close-up, high-contact stand-up: the brickwork laughs with you, the stage is an arm’s length from the front row, and every beat lands with precision. We love artists who shape their material in real time with the audience, and Félix thrives in exactly that setting. He arrives with a wave of fresh momentum, sharpening new ideas night after night and folding your stories into his own. As a performer in full artistic stride, he balances sharp observation with playful crowd work, the sort of kinetic energy that finds its best expression on our compact stage. From the first crackle of nostalgia to the last callback, you feel the show circulating through the room—alive, personal, and gloriously analog in spirit.

Inside Flashback Generation VHS at Le Boui-Boui

Flashback Generation VHS is Félix Le Braz at his most inventive, a full-bodied stand-up hour that treats the analog era as both playground and prism. He excavates the rituals of the videoclub, the accidental home-movie bloopers, and the epic family negotiations over the remote, transforming these artifacts into modern punchlines. In our room, he moves effortlessly between crowd banter and finely tuned bits, cycling through sketches like “Be Kind, Rewind,” “Remote Wars,” “Videoclub Confessions,” and “Camcorder Dad.” You’ll watch him mime the stubborn tracking lines of a tape, map out the social hierarchy of the living-room couch, and turn the suspense of recording over a favorite show into a riotous set-piece. The show’s rhythm feels like a mixtape: bursts of physical comedy, observational riffs, and whip-smart tags that stack and pay off. Even the sound of a tape clicking into place becomes a comic beat, magnified by Le Boui-Boui’s tight acoustics and close quarters, where every expression and tiny gesture reads perfectly from the back row.

What excites us most is how Félix keeps Flashback Generation VHS in motion, adding new chapters that make each visit to Le Boui-Boui a fresh experience. Recently, he has woven in crisp, contemporary angles—how algorithmic feeds replaced Saturday-night channel surfing, or how group chats echo those living-room debates—without losing the sweet chaos of the original premise. New pieces such as “Long Play vs Short Play,” “Pause/Play,” and “Fast Forward Romance” have slotted into the set alongside audience-favorite runs like “Tape Tracker” and “Aux Cables & Arguments,” creating a living timeline that flips from retro to right-now in a blink. We’ve watched him test transitions, riff off a whispered comment in the third row, and build a spontaneous tag into a keeper for the next performance. That is the joy of hosting him here: the show breathes, adapts, and invites you into its workshop. If you grew up with the soft whirr of a rewinder or you discovered VHS as a vintage curiosity, Félix makes the era feel immediate—and at Le Boui-Boui, that immediacy is the headline act.
