At Le Boui-Boui: Flashback Generation VHS lands in Lyon

We are delighted to welcome Félix Le Braz to the stage at Le Boui-Boui with his new one-man show, Flashback Generation VHS, an affectionate, high-energy dive into the tactile joys and glorious glitches of an analog childhood. In our intimate room—built for the kind of close-up comedy that thrives on shared memories—Félix threads storytelling, precise character work, and playful improvisation into an evening that feels both personal and universal. Expect a cascade of VHS-era touchstones: the ritual of “be kind, rewind,” the suspense of Friday-night trips to the video club, and the social choreography of sharing a single remote among friends. His stagecraft leans on swift physicality, sound stingers that snap you back to the 80s and 90s, and a quicksilver knack for reading the room. Here at Le Boui-Boui, that chemistry is magnified; our proximity lets every aside land, every callback ripple, and every nostalgic detail—tracking lines, rental stickers, cassette cases—become a live artifact. Félix turns these relics into rocket fuel for modern stand-up, showing how yesterday’s bulky tapes can spool into today’s sharp, joyous punchlines.

Félix Le Braz’s current momentum and a show built for now

Félix Le Braz arrives at Le Boui-Boui with real momentum, polishing Flashback Generation VHS on the road while cultivating a community online through short-form clips and behind-the-scenes moments that tease the show’s playful structure. He’s part of a new wave of French stand-up that fuses precise writing with cultural archaeology, using the VHS era to hold up a funhouse mirror to today’s on-demand world. In the set, he playfully name-checks recent comedy touchstones—think LOL, qui rit sort!, Le Late avec Alain Chabat, Zen, and the way Montreux Comedy clips circulate on loop—to spotlight how bingeable streams replaced the patience of rewinding. Those references aren’t there for show; they help Félix draw sharp, modern contrasts that keep the material firmly anchored in the present. Across France, audiences have been responding to his blend of observational punch and warm mischief: he slips from a fussy video-store clerk into a deadpan school supervisor or a blustering PE teacher, then snaps into a rapid-fire montage of jingles, theme tunes, and classroom whispers you can almost feel in your spine. At Le Boui-Boui, the show hums with audience energy—Félix loves launching tiny generational “tests” (spot-the-jingle, who remembers long-play vs. short-play, the eternal pen-in-the-cassette fix) and weaving the answers into callbacks later in the night. The result is a living set that tightens date by date, a nostalgic party that never becomes museum-like because Félix keeps steering it toward what it means to watch, wait, and laugh together right now.

For our Lyon crowd, Flashback Generation VHS is the perfect fit for the Le Boui-Boui experience: a room built for conversation-level laughs, quick glances, and the spontaneous riffs that only happen when performer and audience share the same air. We’ve tailored the tech to Félix’s rhythm—crisp sound for micro-impressions, nimble lighting for those cinematic beats, and just enough room on stage for the playful hopscotch between characters. The show’s architecture feels like a mixtape: side A brimming with coming-of-age confessions, side B spinning into group catharsis, with Easter eggs hidden in transitions for keen ears. If you grew up timing recordings to avoid commercials or negotiating who got the good seat in front of the CRT, you’ll feel seen; if you didn’t, Félix’s punchy storytelling will make you swear you did. And because Le Boui-Boui places you right in the heartbeat of the act, tiny details—an eyebrow lift, a whispered tag, a sly pause before a final turn—bloom into some of the night’s biggest laughs. It’s a warm, generous hour of stand-up that shuffles nostalgia, today’s comedy vocabulary, and the simple thrill of discovering a performer at the very moment his material clicks into place.
