Roland Magdane

Roland Magdane is a French comedian, singer and actor from Grenoble, an emblematic figure of popular comedy since the late 1970s. After starting out on stage and television, he achieved huge success with sketches that became cult classics—such as Le dentiste, Les organes and Les lettres de Magdane—combining everyday observation with burlesque humour and self‑mockery. With his good‑natured tone and boundless energy, he established himself as one of the masters of the French one‑man show, filling venues on sold‑out tours and making numerous TV appearances. At the same time, Magdane pursued a career as an actor and singer, exploring other forms of performance while staying true to his generous, universal humour. His shows, like Attention c’est show, Magdane craque! and Les plus grands sketchs, bring together several generations around a simple, rhythmic and always benevolent laughter. With more than forty years of career, he remains a key figure in French comedy, combining wit, imagination and a contagious joie de vivre.
