Josh Gad as “Gigi – Almost American”
Josh Gad stars as Gigi, a loveable foreigner with dreams of fitting in as an “average American.” Blending physical comedy, absurd situations, and an unconventional love story, this slapstick comedy follows Gigi’s adventures where he will let nothing – not his lack of street smarts, nor his incomprehensible grasp of the English language – stand in his way.
Gigi was created by Josh Gad and his fellow comedy troupe members of The Lost Nomads – Ty Clancey, Ida Darvish, Tyler Moore and Kevin Larsen – and developed with BBC Worldwide Productions.
Season One premiered in 2011 to critical and audience praise, garnering over 5 million series views to-date as well as winner of “Best Web Series” and “Best Comedy Series” awards at the Marseilles Web Festival and many other festival accolades domestically and abroad. The highly anticipated Season 2 premiered on Hulu earlier this year.
