Alain Chabat is a master of French comedy who has brought his unique brand of irreverent, genre-bending humor to the big screen for over two decades. Originally rising to fame as part of the influential sketch comedy troupe Les Nuls, Chabat has gone on to establish himself as a prolific writer, director, and performer, crafting a distinctive cinematic voice that seamlessly blends slapstick, surrealism, and social satire. Chabat's films are characterized by a delightfully anarchic spirit, playfully subverting audience expectations at every turn.

At the same time, Chabat's films often contain a surprising emotional depth, exploring themes of friendship, family, and the human condition with warmth and empathy. Beyond his work as a filmmaker, Chabat has also left an indelible mark on French television, co-creating and hosting the beloved game show Burger Quiz, which became one of the most watched programs in the country's history. Throughout his diverse and accomplished career, Alain Chabat has consistently proven himself to be one of the most inventive and influential comedic voices in contemporary French cinema.
