Saïd el Hassnaoui

In 'Saïd lacht met liefde' (Saïd Laughs with Love), Saïd el Hassnaoui reflects on his journey from carefree bachelor - "never wanted kids" - to self-proclaimed chronically exhausted father of the century. Relatable mishaps, awkward Tinder dates, and break-ups that turned out funny in hindsight all take centre stage.

Saïd was a marriage registrar, so he knows better than anyone how chaotic love can be. Singles are warned: there's a real chance Saïd will marry you off on the spot and send you out of the hall with a new flame.

Saïd el Hassnaoui, also known as WestSaid, is a fixture in the Dutch and Belgian comedy scene. In 2014 he won the Comedy Slam and the UICF Talent Award. Ten years later, he reached the final of the Leiden Cabaret Festival 2024 and toured the country with the other finalists.
