Gad Gone Wild

Gad Gone Wild (2017) is a stand-up special you can watch online on iFILM, featuring French comedian Gad Elmaleh on stage in Montreal. For just under an hour he works through the strange business of having moved to the United States.

A huge name on the French-language circuit, Elmaleh mines the gap between two cultures: mangled English, baffling American habits, and the small humiliations of starting over in a new country. It stays loose and conversational, built on observation rather than shock value. A solid pick if you enjoy comedy about culture shock and never quite fitting in.
