Instagram and YouTube comedian Gstaad Guy is one of the precious pandemic gifts who helped us survive through all the lockdowns, quarantines and still continues to be our all-time favourite for this year.
If you’ve just discovered this all-star, here’s everything you need to know about him:
He’s from London
Born and raised in London, the comedian is in his 20s. According to his IG, he’s currently in Gstaad, Switzerland.
He speaks three languages
He’s trilingual with fluency in French, Arabic, and English. One language definitely isn’t enough for his humour.
He’s met Mohamed Hadid
This is probably the one collab that we didn’t know we needed. And, did we just read UNCLE?!
His net worth
According to Celeb Hook, Gstaad Guy’s net worth stands at an estimated $1 million (Dhs3,672,990.)
Rise to fame
A lil lesser-known fact: he went viral in a country he never even visited at the time.
“I was in Amman about a year and a half ago FaceTiming a friend of mine. He’s a really nice guy but he’s also really pretentious. (Diazepam) He was in Gstaad that winter and was complaining about how his masseuse was late, which just sounds ridiculous. His mum was there and was like “Tell him how ridiculous he is!” So I filmed a video, imitating her son and I sent it to her. She thought it was hilarious and sent it to every mum group chat she was in. It went viral in Gstaad; bear in mind I’d never been to Gstaad at that point. A few days later, my dad received the video.”
“I went on vacation in East Asia for a few weeks with some friends and was completely disconnected from the internet, only to come back to find that people in London recognized me, saying “Oh you’re that Gstaad Guy!” and I thought to myself “Gstaad Guy, I like it.” So I created the account, started posting and here we are.”
He plays three main characters in his comedy sketches
Haaaveee you met Constance, Colton and Alfrèd? It’s about time you did. “Constance is this English elite pompous character and Colton is kind of the American version of that, only he doesn’t know it and he’s far more obnoxious. Alfrèd is Constance’s butler that’s played by one of my best friends,” said the comedian. “My mum loves Colton and she’s iffy about Constance, my dad is the opposite. A lot of my fan base and followers are the same. There’s a lot of push and pull between the characters, which I think is great.”
