Gad Elmaleh attacks . After buying the legendary Michou cabaret in the 18th arrondissement of the capital at the end of 2024 to make it a place of comedy and humor, the famous comedian is setting up this time in the Marseille city by opening with two friends from childhood a comedy club: Vig’s, reveals La Provence this Tuesday, January 21.

This place located at 15, quai de Rive Neuve, on the Old Port, will also offer a catering service and musical entertainment from this Friday, January 24, its opening day. “It’s the culmination of many things and a great way to pass it on to the new generation,” declared the comedian to the regional daily.

This new place, which replaces a Steak’n Shake burger restaurant, has a terrace with around a hundred seats, with a room that can accommodate sixty guests. The part dedicated to comedy, which is located upstairs, will be able to accommodate around a hundred spectators and should open twice a week, at least initially. Once settled, the three friends will organize concert and DJ evenings.

This place inspired by the Jamel Comedy Club will also serve as a place for Gad Elmaleh to “break in” his shows, even if he indicates that he “will not be there all the time”, although his associates would like him to be “ in front of the comedy club giving out flyers.”

His wish, which would be synonymous with success for Vig’s, would be that his friends would call him to tell him: “without you, we are complete”. “At the start of the Jamel Comedy Club, people would come and say: Where is he, Jamel ? », recalls the comedian. To succeed, Gad Elmaleh intends to put all the chances on his side with the arrival of the local comedian, Redouane Bougheraba, who plans to play at Vig’s, or with an invitation sent to Zinédine Zidane, who has not yet responded .
