Yvain Dans Pas Courageux - Le Boui-boui, Lyon

Le Boui-Boui welcomes Yvain dans pas courageux

At Le Boui-Boui, we cherish artists who turn proximity into electricity, and Yvain arrives with pas courageux to do exactly that. Our stage is built for honesty, agility, and the kind of laughter that ricochets off brick and velvet; Yvain’s voice slips perfectly into this setting. From the moment house lights dim, he leans into the intimacy our room inspires, transforming everyday jitters and private hesitations into a shared comic pulse. pas courageux thrives on small details made big: a look, a pause, a confession that feels whispered to the front row and somehow reaches the very last seat without losing tenderness. Expect the nimble rhythms of true stand-up—sharp observations, quick pivots, and an instinct for the room—balanced with playful physicality and a knack for turning audience energy into a co-conspirator. It’s the sort of connection Le Boui-Boui was designed to amplify.

What you’ll experience on stage at Le Boui-Boui

pas courageux finds its laugh lines in the gap between who we want to be and who we are when the doorbell rings or the deadline pings. Yvain threads through anxieties we pretend we don’t have—hesitating phone calls, unread messages, harmless white lies that snowball—then heightens them with precision timing. In our room, every shrug and side-eye lands; the staging is sober by design so his cadence, silences, and elastic expressions lead. Crowd work is part of the thrill at Le Boui-Boui, and Yvain embraces it without derailing momentum, inviting playful exchanges that reveal new edges of each bit. The show’s architecture is tight yet breathable: callbacks interlock, thematic motifs resurface, and the title itself becomes a running mirror—pas courageux—reflecting back the clever ways we dodge our own bravado. It’s comedy that rewards attention while still delivering immediate, belly-first laughter.

From our vantage point, Yvain’s artistic moment is lively and in motion. He’s sharpening pas courageux night after night, polishing transitions, testing fresh tags, and leaning into the spontaneity our audience encourages. Beyond the stage, he keeps pace with contemporary comedy habits—short-form clips, work-in-progress excerpts, and candid behind-the-scenes glimpses—ensuring the material lives between performances as well. At Le Boui-Boui, we value that living, iterative process: the way a bit born in a notebook meets a room, adapts to its breath, and returns stronger the next evening. If you’ve seen him once, you’ll feel the difference on a second visit; if you’re new, you’ll catch an artist mid-ascent, with pas courageux as the prism. Come early, settle into the warm buzz of our cellar, and let Yvain guide you through the delightful paradox at the heart of the show: that naming our fears, with care and wit, is the bravest laugh of all.
