About Gérald Dahan
Born on May 17, 1973, in Cognac, Gérald Dahan displayed his talent for impersonation at an early age. He became France’s youngest impersonator at twelve and began his professional career in Parisian cabarets at sixteen. Dahan quickly established himself as a master of French imitation, renowned for his “crazy dexterity” and extensive repertoire, which includes figures from Fabrice Luchini to Zinédine Zidane.
