Yvain Dans Pas Courageux - Le Boui-boui, Lyon

At Le Boui-Boui: welcoming Yvain with Pas Courageux

From our stage at Le Boui-Boui in Lyon, we’re thrilled to host Yvain with his new hour, Pas Courageux, a show tailor‑made for the intimacy and quicksilver energy of our room. Our venue has always championed performers who thrive on proximity, eye contact, and the electricity of a crowd that can feel the breath of a punchline before it lands. Yvain fits this spirit perfectly. He stands inches from the front row, turning everyday dread into a livewire game where hesitation, embarrassment, and sudden bravery collide. In Pas Courageux, he picks apart the tiny moments that make us second‑guess ourselves—meeting strangers, asking for help, making a choice—and he treats them as epic quests unfolding in real time. For our audience, the result is a playful, high‑definition portrait of modern timidity: tender without being soft, sharp without being cruel, and agile enough to pivot with every reaction in the room.

Yvain’s current momentum and the shape of Pas Courageux

As a creator, Yvain has been busy refining a constellation of new pieces that now anchor Pas Courageux, and our team has seen them snap into focus across recent workshop sets. Expect the show to weave together signature set‑pieces like Pas courageux au travail, where he dissects the heroic theater of office small talk; Petit héros du quotidien, a nimble diary of micro‑victories and micro‑defeats; Courage en plastique, a mischievous riff on fake confidence and the props we hide behind; and Ascenseur émotionnel, his elastic, beat‑by‑beat anatomy of a conversation that keeps changing floors. These titles have become reference points for returning fans who love following how each bit evolves night after night. Artistically, Yvain is in a building phase: the hour breathes, rearranges itself, and rewards listeners who savor both the craft and the play. Whether you’ve caught fragments of these ideas in club tryouts or you’re discovering them for the first time here, Pas Courageux at Le Boui-Boui captures Yvain mid‑stride, testing edges and polishing rhythms with the audience as his co‑pilot.

On our stage, Yvain’s live presence is defined by precision and looseness in equal measure. The precision comes through in the architecture of his premises—he sets a scene with the care of a playwright—while the looseness belongs to the crowd, whose suggestions, laughter, and hesitations he treats as raw material. The hour’s engine is curiosity: how many versions of ourselves do we carry into a decision, and which one gets the microphone? That question powers recurring threads, so you’ll hear the motifs of Pas courageux au travail, Petit héros du quotidien, Courage en plastique, and Ascenseur émotionnel reappear as callbacks, each time twisted by the specific mood of Le Boui-Boui that night. Our technical team keeps the staging intentionally minimal—light, breath, a glance—so that the comedy’s smallest beats read clearly, even from the back row. If you come early, you’ll feel the hum of the room as it fills; if you sit close, you might find your own tiny bravery starring in Yvain’s next detour. Either way, Pas Courageux is built to live and grow in our space, one shared heartbeat at a time.
