Le Boui-Boui welcomes Félix Le Braz with Flashback Génération VHS

At Le Boui-Boui, we are delighted to open our intimate stage to Félix Le Braz for Flashback Génération VHS, a live experience tailor‑made for anyone who ever blew into a cartridge, tracked the snow off a tape, or got happily lost in the aisles of a video club. From our vantage point in the room, we’ve watched audiences light up the moment Félix steps out with his quick, warm timing and a string of analog memories that suddenly feel vividly present. He conjures the tactile world of cassettes and camcorders with precision: the hum of a VCR, the glow of a cathode‑ray screen, the way a family recording would accidentally tape over a birthday. The show blends stand‑up, character slices, and playful sound cues to recreate the shared rituals of the era—rewind fees, taped TV movies, theme‑tune sing‑alongs—while letting each punchline land with contemporary snap. At Le Boui-Boui, we’ve tuned our light and sound to amplify these textures, so the audience hears the soft thud of a tape tray and the crisp click of a plastic case alongside Félix’s agile storytelling. It’s a night that transports you—without ever feeling museum‑like—because the comedy is firmly rooted in the present: fresh observations, sharp callbacks, and an easy rapport that turns our room into a living room full of friends.

A comedian in full momentum

In recent months, Félix Le Braz has been riding an exciting creative wave, and Flashback Génération VHS captures that momentum with a setlist that evolves from week to week. We’ve loved seeing him road‑test new material here, trimming and polishing until each scene feels custom‑built for the acoustics and intimacy of Le Boui-Boui. The show’s inner architecture is revealed through bits that audiences have started to request by name—sketches like Le Vidéo Club, Tracking, Enregistrer Par‑Dessus, and Le Caméscope de Papa—each one mixing nostalgia with the observational bite of everyday life today. Between dates, Félix continues to share short, tight clips that keep the conversation going online, and his recent stage pieces Cartouches et Manettes and Rewind, Please! have quickly become crowd favorites for anyone who remembers co‑op evenings on the couch or the horror of taping over a treasured tape. As a performer, he is a generous host: he toggles between characters and moments, conjuring the film‑buff clerk, the finicky VCR owner, the sibling who panic‑records a TV special, and the parent who never learned the difference between play and record. That fluidity gives Flashback Génération VHS its heartbeat, and from our perspective in the room, you can feel how easily Félix reads the crowd and reshapes a sequence to ride the energy of the night.

Presenting this show at Le Boui-Boui also means leaning into what our space does best: proximity, rhythm, and shared discovery. We’ve curated the pre‑show atmosphere with a subtle hum of retro textures so that the moment Félix opens his first VHS memory, the room is primed—no gimmicks, just the right palette to welcome his storytelling. And while Flashback Génération VHS is a love letter to an era, it’s equally a snapshot of Félix Le Braz’s current artistic voice: nimble, generous, and delightfully precise. He threads tiny sensory details into big, resonant beats—how a tape’s label curls, how late‑night TV shaped our sense of time, how friendships formed around one remote—and that specificity keeps audiences leaning in, laughing together, and trading their own memories at the bar after the show. For us, that’s the joy of hosting him here: seeing different generations connect, watching punchlines ripple through the room, and witnessing how each performance becomes a one‑off print, unique to the audience that night. If you recognize yourself in the glow of an old screen—or if you simply love the craft of stand‑up performed up close—Félix Le Braz’s Flashback Génération VHS at Le Boui-Boui is where those memories and that craft meet, alive and immediate on our stage.
