Michaël Gregorio
Biography
Michaël Gregorio is a French comedian, imitator, and singer born on June 10, 1984, in Mulhouse. His childhood was marked by frequent relocations due to his father’s military career, including time spent living in Germany and Pau. From age three, he demonstrated an early interest in performance, participating in a school play in Gan. He also has Spanish origins.
Gregorio's journey into comedy began at age 14 when he started taking theater classes and performing in plays like 'Dom Juan revient de guerre' and 'Grand-peur et misère du IIIe Reich'. Around age 16, he experimented with singing, drawing inspiration from bands such as Radiohead and Nirvana. He also attended circus school (Persé Circus) as a juggler. His talent for imitation was recognized early; he won the ‘Graines de star’ show on M6 twice in March 2001. He began performing professionally at age 16 with his manager, David Hardit. He participated in 'Les Coups d'humour' on TF1 in 2002 and 2003.
Throughout the 2000s, Gregorio’s career gained momentum. In 2004, he appeared on Laurent Ruquier’s show 'Vos imitations préférées', and in 2005, he performed at the Juste pour rire festival in Montreal. His first solo show, 'J’aurais voulu être un chanteur…', toured France and Europe. He opened for Céline Dion on her European tour in 2008 and received a ‘prix coup de cœur du jury’ at the Festival Mont-Blanc d’Humour that same year. He performed five sold-out shows at the Bataclan in December 2008. Since 2004, he has presented successful shows combining humor, vocal performances, and emotions. His tours have been acclaimed by over 1.5 million spectators. Gregorio's current show is 'L’Odyssée de la Voix', touring France and Belgium in the 2023-24 season, and concluding with three performances at the Folies Bergère on February 16, 17, and 18, 2026. Over 400,000 people have seen 'L’Odyssée de la voix'. He has also appeared in films like 'Dépression et des potes' (2016) and 'Hommes au bord de la crise de nerfs' (2023), and has dubbed around fifteen animated films and series.
