Yvain – Pas courageux at Le Boui-Boui

At Le Boui-Boui, we love comedy that feels dangerously close to real life, and Pas courageux fits our stage like a glove. In our intimate room, Yvain steps into the light with a set that turns everyday jitters into fuel for laughter: from the petty heroics of answering unknown numbers to the grand dramas of making eye contact on public transport, the hour disarms fear by naming it. We’ve designed this date so you feel the comic’s pulse up close—no distance, no gloss, just the crisp rhythm of a performer who trusts silence as much as punchlines. Our audiences come for candor, and Yvain is game: quick on his feet, respectful but relentless, he shapes the room’s energy into a conversation where anxiety becomes a shared wink rather than a private burden. The proximity of Le Boui-Boui turns small observations into big releases; you can hear the breath before a tag lands, the grin in a throwaway aside, the spark when a thought catches fire and the room leans in together.

As a venue that champions fresh voices, we’ve been following Yvain’s current momentum with attention. Over recent months he has tightened Pas courageeux through club tryouts and a string of short, sharply edited clips that have been circulating online, giving a taste of the show’s high-velocity tags and his understated way of flipping expectations. If your comedy diet includes the quick-fire spirit of recent programs such as LOL: Qui rit, sort!, Hot Ones France, Quotidien, and Clique, you’ll recognize the pace and cultural literacy he brings to the stage—without sacrificing warmth or spontaneity. The material speaks to now: doomscrolling fatigue, the micro-rituals of dating, the brittle confidence of open offices, being “brave” enough to say no, and the paradox of wanting to be left alone yet constantly validated. In Pas courageux, these themes stay nimble; Yvain alternates sculpted bits with nimble crowd work, letting our room’s laughter decide how far to chase a premise before moving to the next pressure point. It’s contemporary stand-up with a classic backbone: story, setup, twist, and an afterglow of recognition that follows you out onto the street.

A night tailored to our room

Le Boui-Boui is built for this kind of ride: compact sightlines, honest acoustics, and proximity that rewards precision. We’ve calibrated the lighting and sound for the soft feints and sudden snaps that Pas courageux trades in, so a raised eyebrow lands as clearly as a punchline. Expect an hour that evolves from night to night—new tags, playful callbacks, and the occasional left-field riff sparked by a front-row confession. We know our regulars appreciate a set that breathes, and Yvain keeps it alive: he listens, parries, and nudges the room toward collective courage, the sort that emerges when everyone admits they’re a little scared. Come early, settle in with the room’s hum, and let the first laugh set the tempo; we take care of the rest—from the welcome to the last blackout. Pas courageux at Le Boui-Boui isn’t about pretending to be fearless; it’s about enjoying the vertigo together, one sharp, generous joke at a time. Here, every seat feels like the best seat, and every laugh feels earned—because in our room, the truth is close enough to touch, and Yvain knows exactly how to meet it.
