Rabat – His last show “Maintenant ou Jamel” has not gone unnoticed: on Friday, April 6, the “Academy of Molières” nominated Jamel Debbouze for the “Molière of Humor,” one of several prestigious awards that annually honors the best artists and live shows in France.
In this category, the French-Moroccan comedian will represent his new stand-up comedy show, “Maintenant ou Jamel,” directed by Mohamed Hamidi.
After six years of absence, Debbouze has made a successful comeback on his favorite playground: the stage. Very close to his audience, the 42-year-old comedian talks about his fears, his role as a father, and his career.
The committed artist mocks some political figures, such as Emmanuel Macron and Donald Trump, while also discussing subjects like racism and terrorism.
The Paris native has starred in many movies, including the historical movie, Days of Glory, which he also co-produced in 2006. Debbouze also inaugurated his own comedy club in 2008, opening opportunities for amateur stand-up comedians. Every year, the comedian organizes “Marrakech du Rire,” which serves as a “link between cultures,” uniting hundreds of stand-up fans for the world’s premier Francophone stand-up comedy festival.
