Redouane Bougheraba

Redouane Bougheraba is a Franco-Algerian humorist, actor, comedian and film producer, born on 16 June 1978 in the 6th arrondissement of Marseille. He was born and raised in Marseille with five brothers and sisters, among them Ali Bougheraba, Hakim Bougheraba and Ichem Bougheraba. His father, who managed a bar-PMU and later worked as a machine operator, came from Bejaia in Algeria, and his mother, who worked as a hairdresser, seamstress and grocer, was born in Tablat in Algeria. He studied with the Catholic sisters at Notre-Dame de la Major before obtaining the baccalaureat, but abandoned his studies in economic sciences after three successive failures in the first year. He took on various small jobs and opened a cyber-cafe. In 2012, he moved to London with his wife and daughter.

In 2015, he went to Paris to perform stand-up shows. He took part in the ninth season of the Jamel Comedy Club, drew attention and became one of the headline acts at the Paname Art Cafe. He created his first show, Redouane s'eparpille, in which he addressed his life and the city of Marseille. In parallel, he pursued projects in cinema and television, appearing notably in the program Clique on Canal+ and acting in the films Patients, C'est tout pour moi, Taxi 5 and La Vie scolaire. In 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic, he had the idea of posting the improvised parts of his shows on social media, which increased his fame. In 2021, he presented the Calvi Comedy Festival on C8, sponsored by Gad Elmaleh.

In 2022, he returned to the stage with the show On m'appelle Marseille, a name referencing the title On m'appelle l'ovni by the Marseille rapper Jul. From April to June 2024, he presented the program Au micro ! on Canal+, a talent contest to discover the channel's new voice to comment on football matches. On 22 June 2024, he became the first humorist to perform at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille. He is married to Jennifer Cassandri and is the father of two daughters, and is domiciled in London.
