Yvain Dans Pas Courageux - Le Boui-boui, Lyon

Le Boui-Boui welcomes Yvain dans pas courageux

At Le Boui-Boui, we cherish those nights when a comedian’s new hour meets an audience at arm’s length, where timing, breath, and a raised eyebrow can ripple through the room like a chorus. That is exactly why we are excited to host Yvain with pas courageux in our intimate Lyon space. We program artists who relish close contact with spectators, and Yvain’s craft—built on sharp observation, nimble crowd rapport, and the kind of narrative arcs that thrive in a close room—fits our stage perfectly. As a venue, our role is to give authentic voices room to bloom; pas courageux is a fresh moment in Yvain’s trajectory, a full set that puts his nerve, rhythm, and writing under a warm spotlight. Expect the comic to test boundaries with tenderness rather than bluster, to explore the dissonance between what we say we will do and what we actually dare to do, and to hold that mirror just close enough that we laugh, recognize ourselves, and lean forward for more.

Onstage at Le Boui-Boui: rhythm, themes, and recent buzz

What excites us most about presenting pas courageux is how Yvain turns everyday apprehensions into theatre. He works in quick cuts and longer crescendos, shifting from micro-observations—an awkward hello, a suspicious elevator pause, the heroic pep talks we give ourselves—to fuller stories where bravado melts into vulnerability. The set feels alive because Yvain writes with the room; he plays with silences, doubles back for a second punch on the same idea, and lets the audience’s imagination finish a line. If you keep up with recent French comedy formats like Paname Comedy Club, Jamel Comedy Club, or the Montreux Comedy stages, you know the appetite audiences have for tight, high-precision stand-up; pas courageux taps into that same energy while leaving space for mischief and spontaneous detours. This season, Yvain’s club work has generated word of mouth thanks to concise, shareable bits and the steady unveiling of new minutes, and we’re delighted he’s bringing that momentum to our black box at Le Boui-Boui, where each seat feels like the best one.

Presenting Yvain also aligns with the creative arc we see across our calendar: comedians using personal stakes as a springboard to collective laughter. In pas courageux, the fears aren’t abstract—they are childlike and modern all at once: letting a phone ring out, facing a politely terrifying neighbor, pretending to understand an office policy, or negotiating a first date like a stealth mission. Yvain’s language is playful, his eye for detail nimble, and his timing tuned to the heartbeat of a live crowd. We set our room to serve that pulse—clean sightlines, crisp sound, and a stage that invites conversation rather than distance. From our vantage point, the show is ideal for those who crave the momentum of a contemporary club set but want the intimacy that nurtures surprise and real-time invention. Whether you track comedy through televised showcases or through the fast-evolving club scene across Lyon, this date at Le Boui-Boui is where Yvain’s newest hour, pas courageux, takes shape right in front of you, in the shared rhythm of breath, laugh, and the next daring line.
