After the boards, place on the big screen. Gad Elmaleh has just completed the last performance of his show By the way, in the city of Montreal, in front of an audience of 7,000 people. It is therefore time for the comedian and actor to unveil to the public his new cinematographic project: a UFO of the 7th art entitled Stay a bitwhich will be released in cinemas on November 16, 2022 in France, and in which we will find several members of his family, including his parents, as well as the author and rabbi Delphine Horvilleur.

But this little whim will have him, somewhere, led to a nice professional collaboration.
