Gad Elmaleh Sells Out Brussels Shows with New Stand-Up Special "Himself"

This is Gad Elmaleh’s third evening at Forest National where he has been recording his new show "Himself" since Thursday. The Belgian audience is delighted to see their famous "Chouchou" again. "It was great, very funny, a wonderful evening, I wonder where he gets his stuff from," exclaimed a fan on Friday as he left the show. "What I love about Gad is that it’s never vulgar, not below the belt. And these are everyday facts that everyone can relate to. It’s so well said, touching and hilarious!" confides another.

The performances of the 54-year-old Moroccan comedian were also appreciated on social media. "Oh my Gad, it was hilarious!", "It was crazy, what talent! What a man! What an audience", can be read among other comments online. "His way of telling his stories, like back in the day with the GPS one or at the gas pump, cracks you up. It’s too funny and we live it. We were doubled over laughing throughout the whole show!" reacted an internet user, won over by Gad’s talent who will be on stage again this Saturday evening.

The owner of Chez Michou will return to Belgium on December 17, 2025, for a new show at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Charleroi.
