About Kev Adams
Kev Adams or Kev' Adams (born Kevin Smadja; 1 July 1991) is a French comedian, actor, humorist, screenwriter and film producer. He was born in 1991 in the 16th district of Paris. His father is a real estate agent of Algerian Jewish descent and his mother, of Tunisian Jewish descent, works in finance. He began taking theater classes at the age of seven. In 2009 he completed his French Baccalaureate in literature and enrolled in law at the University of Paris X-Nanterre while simultaneously pursuing his acting career.
In 2009, Adams was spotted by Elisa Soussan, Anne Roumanoff's producer, who invited him to perform at her Carte Blanche show at the Olympia. Following this, he was offered to be the opening act of a Gad Elmaleh show at the Palais des Sports. His first one-man show, The Young Man Show, first ran in Paris in 2009 at the Theatre Le Temple before touring France, with the tour ending in Switzerland on 22 July 2012 during the Paleo Festival de Nyon. From September 2010 to February 2011, Adams was a contestant on the TV program On n'demande qu'a en rire hosted by Laurent Ruquier, leaving voluntarily to dedicate himself to the Soda television series, in which he plays a major role.
The same year he had his biggest box office successes with Serial Teachers and The New Adventures of Aladdin. In 2018 he created the animated series Kev's World, also voicing himself in the original French version. In 2026 he appears during the auditions for season 21 of the show America's Got Talent.
