Yvain Dans Pas Courageux - Le Boui-boui, Lyon

Le Boui-Boui welcomes Yvain in Pas Courageux

At Le Boui-Boui, we love comedy that feels as close and human as the room itself, and that is exactly why we are thrilled to host Yvain with Pas Courageux. Our intimate stage is built for the kind of honest, finely tuned stand-up he practices: storytelling that turns everyday awkwardness into big, communal laughs, and tight punchlines that echo from the first row to the very back. In this moment of his career, Yvain is sharing material that is alive and in motion, the fruit of countless club nights where he has honed the tempo, sharpened the tags, and discovered the little truths that make a room lean forward. You’ll find a performer who invites the audience in, builds tension with calm precision, then releases it with a grin—and who isn’t afraid to let a spontaneous interaction become the spark for a new bit. For us as a venue, this is exactly the kind of comedian we champion: generous, precise, and unmistakably himself.

Inside the world of Pas Courageux at Le Boui-Boui

Pas Courageux is a comic portrait of an anti-hero who would rather dodge than duel, and it blossoms in a space like ours where every expression, pause, and callback lands with clarity. Yvain threads together the micro-anxieties of modern life—delayed emails, tiny catastrophes, brave faces that melt at the first sign of trouble—then flips them into a defiantly funny philosophy of survival. The rhythm is agile: quick detours, cheeky asides, and returns to a refrain you didn’t realize was being built. If you follow recent comedy programs such as LOL: Qui rit, sort!, Un Bon Moment, Montreux Comedy, or Les Grosses Têtes, you’ll recognize the craft at play here: a contemporary, conversational style that trusts the audience to keep up while never sacrificing warmth. In our room, these layers register beautifully; the quiet beats ring as clearly as the roars. Expect nimble crowd work, carefully planted callbacks, and the kind of observational detail that makes you nudge your neighbor and whisper, “That’s me.”

We program Pas Courageux at Le Boui-Boui with the care we reserve for shows that are built to bloom in close quarters. Our team shapes the sound and lights for stand-up’s natural cadence—clean sightlines, crisp timing on blackouts, and a tight focus that lets Yvain’s expressions do half the talking. What we love about his current artistic moment is the freshness: new tags slipping into familiar stories, a willingness to test, trim, and riff with the room, and the confidence to let a silence breathe just long enough to make the punchline land harder. The atmosphere here helps; laughter travels quickly in our space, and one good line turns into a chain reaction. For fans who stream or attend contemporary comedy—from LOL: Qui rit, sort! to Un Bon Moment, from the high-wire sets seen at Montreux Comedy to the playful banter you catch on Rire & Chansons—this date offers the live counterpart: immediacy, risk, and shared discovery. Join us at Le Boui-Boui to see Yvain carry his banner of Pas Courageux with flair, mischief, and the kind of precision that makes an intimate room feel limitless.
