Comedian Wahid Bouzidi, revealed by the “Jamel Comedy Club”, died on Sunday August 20 at the age of 45 in Morocco. He had suffered a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) on Wednesday, said his press officer.
After this stroke, the artist had been hospitalized and was in a coma. He had already suffered two other strokes in 2021, he told Courrier de l’Atlas at the time.
The actor with a strong build and debonair look was revealed in 2006 by Jamel Debbouze’s stand-up show, the “Jamel Comedy Club”. In January, he launched a new one-man show at the Le République theater in Paris, and his tour was to stop throughout France.
In the cinema, we have seen him in several comedies, including Case Départ, Neuilly his mother, his mother!, Nicky Larson and Cupid’s Perfume or even Super-heroes despite him.
His death sparked many tributes in the middle of the show. “Wahid, I will remember your kindness, your sweetness, your benevolence and years of laughter”, thus reacted the host Arthur on the social network X (formerly Twitter). “Wahid, we didn’t know each other very well but every time we met I was so happy to see your smile so benevolent and bright,” also wrote actress Leila Bekhti on Instagram.
