Here is Hassan El Fad's biography:
Hassan El Fad, a Moroccan comedian, was born on November 24, 1962, in Casablanca. With a background in interior architecture and visual arts, he is known for his innovative ideas and unusual characters. Hassan maintains his love for music by playing the saxophone.
Casablanca was the main source of inspiration and fascination in his life and his sense of humor that characterizes him. His first one-man show, Ninja, reveals this in regard. In 1999, his first collaboration with the Moroccan TV channel RTM covered twelve sketches aired during the month of Ramadan, titled Oujhi F'oujhek. Following the success of these sketches, Hassan El Fad remained one of the Ramadan figures to appear in other television programs, including cinema, theater, commercials, and one-man shows.
After taking classes at the Conservatory of Music and Theatre in Casablanca, Hassan El Fad began his career as an actor for Moroccan 2M channels and Al Aoula. He was helped by veterans of the conservatory, and his first real success was participating in the creation of an operetta as part of a national holiday in 1988. Then, immediately, it was the turn of the TV to take over. Contacted by a director of the TVM, Hassan invested the small screen in a series of four dramas for three seasons. In 1991, he continued with the recent launch of 2M with the animation of a program whose title is "Le samedi du rire." 2M, at the time, "the private channel still had not touched the audience and hoped it was the beginning of disillusionment in popularity." So his experience was very short at 2M, a season and then went away.
It is "Yarit," a film by Hassan Benjelloun, that launches his film career. In 1993, it was the turn of "Lumières," a short film by Omar Chraïbi, to begin the series of short films. But it is with "Fabula," another short film by Chraïbi Omar, that Hassan won an award at the 5th national film festival and won the award for the Best Short Film Actor. He also plays in "Destin de femme" by Hakim Noury. But also in "Mona Saber" by Abdelhay El Iraki and "Les 401 coups" by the same director. Then we find Hassan in "Ali, Rabia and other" by Ahmed Boulan.
After his first one-man show "Ninja" with the public, the actor began specializing in comedy shows such as "Canal 36," "Canal Ci BiBi" or "Chanily TV." In 2005, Hassan El Fad had another one-man show "Doctorescargot."
In 2009, "Hassan O Rbaâto" presented a show with many traditional artists drawn directly from the Jemaa El Fna.
In 2010, El Fad worked with the director Abdelhak Chaâbi to create "FadTV" series, a parody sketch of 30 episodes. Hassan worked for the first time with young actors including Badia Senhaji, Fouad Saad-Allah, Hamid Morchid, Osama Mahmoud Ghadfi, and Moroccan singer Said Moskir.
In 2011, Hassan El Fad worked with the operator Wana Corporate and created "Bayn Show," a series as Quiz TV, and broadcast on YouTube and on channel 2M.
