About Yacine Belhousse

Yacine Belhousse is a French stand-up comedian, actor, writer, director and producer born in 1981 in Bondy. After discovering Jerry Seinfeld's 'I'm Telling You for the Last Time' on television in 1999, he turned to stand-up. He became known to the general public from 2006 through the Jamel Comedy Club, where he was one of the most prominent members of the new French stand-up generation.

Yacine became famous within the Jamel Comedy Club thanks to recurring sketches, notably 'The Geek Song' performed in duo with his partner Dedo. He multiplied projects across Canal+ (Inside JCC, Bref), Golden Moustache and French radio and cinema. In 2014 he became one of the first French comedians to perform in English at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with 'Made in France'. He practises a surreal and absurd style close to the Anglo-Saxon tradition of Monty Python and Eddie Izzard. He has released filmed specials including Yacine Belhousse: 2022 and Yacine Belhousse: 2023 (available on Prime Video and JustWatch in France) and now regularly tours new material at L'Art Du theatre in Marseille and across France.
