Gad Elmaleh Acquires Iconic Parisian Cabaret 'Chez Michou'

The renowned comedian plans to transform the venue into a hub for comedy while preserving its historic essence.

Gad Elmaleh was selected by the Paris commercial court to purchase the assets of 'Chez Michou', which was in liquidation.
The cabaret, known for its extravagant drag performances, faced financial difficulties following the death of its founder in 2020.
Elmaleh aims to maintain the spirit of the venue while rebranding it as a comedy-focused establishment.
The acquisition does not include the rights to the 'Chez Michou' name, marking a new chapter for the location.
Catherine Catty-Jacquart, Michou's niece, expressed support for Elmaleh's plans, noting the cabaret is in good hands.
