Yvain Dans Pas Courageux - Le Boui-boui, Lyon

Yvain brings Pas Courageux to the intimate stage of Le Boui-Boui

At Le Boui-Boui, we thrive on up-close, high-energy encounters between artists and audiences, and Yvain in Pas Courageux is precisely the kind of evening our room was built for. From the moment the lights warm the brick and the first chuckle ripples through the crowd, Yvain leans into the intimacy of our stage to unpack the tiny fears that shape everyday life—those split-second hesitations at a crosswalk, the social jitters at a neighbor’s dinner, the anxious overthinking around a simple voicemail. In our setting, every shrug, side-eye, and pause becomes part of the punchline, and Yvain uses that proximity to build a playful complicity with the room. The show is a nimble flow of storytelling and quick pivots where audience reactions steer the tempo, and the performer’s timing—equal parts delicate and daring—turns minor catastrophes into shared victories. For regulars at Le Boui-Boui, Pas Courageux is a fresh reminder of why small rooms make big memories: humor hits harder when you can feel it land, and Yvain’s craft blossoms in that live-wire closeness that defines our venue.

Beyond this Lyon rendezvous, we’re delighted to welcome Yvain at a moment when his artistic momentum is taking shape in real time. Fans who keep tabs on contemporary comedy will recognize the relaxed, conversational current running through today’s scene—think of the candid rhythm you hear on Un Bon Moment, the spontaneous riffing that powers 301 vues, or the behind-the-laugh curiosity of Floodcast. If you follow the fast-cut stand-up clips circulating from Paname Comedy Club, you’ll feel the same appetite for immediacy in this hour: Yvain favors real-life detail, sharp snapshots, and disarming confessions. On our stage, that translates into sequences where the smallest stumbles—misread messages, DIY mishaps, a heroic avoidance of phone calls—become miniature epics. The writing is lean, but the perspective is generous; Yvain gives the audience room to recognize themselves and then nudges that recognition toward laughter. For us at Le Boui-Boui, this is exactly the kind of present-tense comedy we love to program: a work-in-progress spirit sharpened by craft, a performer who listens as closely as he speaks, and a show that grows from night to night with the crowd’s participation.
