About Vincent Rouïl

Vincent Rouil (born 30 October 1959), better known as Vincent Lagaf', is a French humorist, TV presenter, singer, and actor. In 1987, having just arrived in Paris, he came to national attention as a comedian when he appeared on the TV show La Classe, aimed at discovering young comedians. With his first one-man show, Lagaf' became popular thanks to the song "Bo le lavabo," which was a success in France in 1990.

In 2006, Lagaf' took a sabbatical year, and in 2008 he played the first leading role in the movie Le Baltringue. In 2009, after a tour with the play Pourquoi Moi?!, he returned to TV with a new version of The Price Is Right (Le Juste Prix). In 2011, he hosted the French version of Ant & Dec's Push the Button, and in 2016 he quit TF1.
