Yvain Dans Pas Courageux - Le Boui-boui, Lyon

Le Boui-Boui welcomes Yvain dans pas courageux

At Le Boui-Boui, we love seeing a fresh comic turn intimacy into impact, and that is precisely why we are thrilled to host Yvain dans pas courageux on our stage in Lyon. Our club’s close-up setting puts audiences within arm’s reach of the performer, creating a space where every hesitation, grin, and punchline lands with crisp clarity. Yvain leans into that intimacy with a set built around the idea of courage—what it looks like, how it fails us at the worst possible time, and why laughing at our own fear is the bravest move of all. Expect a club-paced hour that blends personal storytelling and sharp observational beats, the kind of rhythm that flourishes in a room like ours: no frills, no distance, just a performer and a crowd navigating the present moment together. We curate acts that thrive on authenticity, and Yvain’s writing and stage instincts make him a perfect fit for the Le Boui-Boui experience.

We also keep a keen eye on the artist’s current creative momentum, and Yvain’s is unmistakable. He is part of a new guard of francophone stand-up voices who hone their craft through relentless club work and smart, snackable clips shared online, then expand those ideas into full-length shows. If you follow contemporary comedy through showcases such as Jamel Comedy Club, Le Paname Comedy Club, or the digital broadcasts from Montreux Comedy Festival, you will recognize the pace and tone he taps into: candid, quick with callbacks, and unafraid to pivot from crowd energy to a tightly written bit. In recent months, he has been refining material that captures the awkward heroism of everyday life—those fragile moments where bravado meets reality—and our room gives those moments a resonant, human scale. The buzz surrounding short-form comedy and club-born hours is particularly strong right now, and it’s energizing to welcome an artist who rides that wave with fresh ideas and a genuine appetite for live feedback night after night.

Inside the show: fear, bravado, and laughter

Yvain dans pas courageux takes the classic stand-up engine—confession, observation, escalation—and steers it toward that universal knot in the stomach: fear. From the stage of Le Boui-Boui, he draws out the comic possibilities in everyday brinksmanship, turning anxious inner monologues into high-precision stories with crisp tags and crafty act-outs. He works cleanly with the room, using our club’s proximity to test where vulnerability becomes mischievous, where sarcasm softens into self-awareness, and where the audience becomes a co-conspirator. Audiences who enjoy the quick-turn energy of scene staples like Fridge Comedy Club and the late-night club style seen on Le Paname Comedy Club will feel at home with his timing, yet Yvain’s voice stays unmistakably his: playful, rueful, sharp around the edges when it needs to be. During his run with us, he has been polishing transitions, tightening callbacks, and exploring crowd-work moments that refresh each performance; it’s the kind of living, breathing show that rewards returning viewers. For Le Boui-Boui, this is exactly why we present him now—because the material is alive, because the laughter feels earned, and because in our compact, convivial room, the theme at the heart of the title becomes a shared dare: to be not-so-brave together, and to laugh about it without flinching.
