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

Le Boui-Boui welcomes Félix Le Braz

At Le Boui-Boui, we are thrilled to host Félix Le Braz with his time-capsule of a show, Flashback Generation VHS, an evening tailor-made for our intimate Lyon stage. Our room thrives on proximity between artist and audience, and that closeness is exactly what Félix leverages: eye contact, quick-fire asides, and a rapport that turns a crowd into co-conspirators. His current artistic momentum is anchored in a playful re-discovery of the analog world, the kind of creative focus that resonates with audiences who crave storytelling rooted in lived experience. Across his recent live dates, Félix has been sharpening material that blends character work, physical comedy, and sly observational beats; he delights in the tick-tock of setup and payoff, then springs nostalgia-laced surprises that only someone who grew up with camcorders, VHS tracking lines, and Saturday morning TV can engineer. The result on our stage is a sparkling, fast-moving set that matches the immediacy of our venue, capturing the electricity of the room and channeling it into laughter that feels both personal and collective.

Flashback Generation VHS on our stage

Flashback Generation VHS is Félix Le Braz’s comedic playground, and at Le Boui-Boui it unfurls like a home movie with exceptional punchlines. The show’s spine is memory—those tactile rituals of pressing record, untangling tape, blowing dust from console cartridges, and returning rentals a day late—but the engine is Félix’s craft: elastic pacing, deft sound imitations, and an instinct for crowd moments that send ripples through the room. He roams from video clubs to the family living room, from chewed tape to over-dubbed trailers, threading anecdotes with impersonations of the era’s voices and ad tones. The piece is nostalgic without being stuck in amber: Félix reframes the 80s/90s palette through a contemporary lens, playing with the aesthetic grammar of analog glitch and the hyperactive rhythm familiar to audiences who also follow recent comedy programs like LOL: Qui rit, sort!, Le Late avec Alain Chabat, or the web phenomenon Zen. In our space, his bit-by-bit build—those tight callbacks, those “did-you-hear-that” micro-jokes—lands with remarkable clarity, inviting the room to become a chorus of knowing laughs and freshly discovered joy.

From our perspective at Le Boui-Boui, what makes this rendezvous with Félix Le Braz so timely is the way Flashback Generation VHS speaks to multiple generations at once. Older fans relish the tactile memories—rewinding tapes with a pen, the hum of a cathode-ray tube, the suspense of recording a live broadcast—while younger comedy lovers discover these artifacts as mythic prompts for Félix’s sharpest punchlines. The show operates like a communal archive: each sound cue or mimed ad jingle unlocks a new wave of recognition, then a carefully engineered twist. Félix’s creative present is a dialogue with the past, and our stage amplifies that conversation with the immediacy that only a snug, laughter-forward room can provide. Expect character snapshots that burst to life, razor-edged observations about how we consumed stories before streaming, and an interactive spirit that invites the audience to lend its own memories to the evening. It is precisely the kind of live, crafted, and generous comedy we love to present: a performer at ease in the spotlight, a concept with personality, and a crowd lifted by the shared thrill of rediscovery.
