Marc Herman

Marc Herman, whose real name is Marc Maloens, is a Belgian humorist born in Leuven in 1947.

Marc Herman's talents were discovered by French-speaking viewers from 1981 in TV programmes such as Le festival international du rire de Rochefort (RTBF), Zygomaticorama (RTBF), La Classe (France 3), Y en aura pour tout le monde (RTL-TVI), or Bon Week-end (RTBF).

In 1997 he adopted the "stand-up" style and played a good-natured and slightly clumsy Fleming who relates us the every-day life of the average people, but which experienced by the humorist become sketches. For this character he uses the name "Luc Dierrieckx". For this show he talked with a very pronounced Flemish accent, which he would keep a bit in the following Stuuûts but less and less pronounced. As the Stuuûts go by, he changed from a bit stupid character to an uncomplicated and honest person closer to the average, going so far as to put Raoul in his place as an actor in some sketches in some compilations of the Stuuût (especially the tennis lesson, or the ski vacation in Stuuût 2, or the broken-down washing machine in the first show).

His recurrent characters are his wife Wolleke and his brother-in-law Raoul and his wife Roseline. From the Stuuût 6 another character appears, Raoul's brother called Rahoul. In his first show there was also Sacha.

Since 1981, he has written and performed 24 shows and 2 stage plays, 10 of which have been broadcast on RTBF and 11 on RTL-TVI. He first appeared on French channels in the programme La Classe and participated in the RTL programme Il y en aura pour tout le monde in which he organized fake interviews. In 1996, he left RTL to go to RTBF where he would take part to the programme Bon Week End, and where he presented his first Stuuût on the same set of the programme. The other shows follow each other with varying frequency, the Stuuût 2 in 1999, the Stuuût 3 in 2002, the Stuuût 4 in 2004 and the Stuuût 5 in 2009 (between Stuuût 4 and 5 he created two stage plays). In 2010 he returned to RTL-TVI and released the Stuuût 6 in October. In three years he produced ten new Stuuûts and three bests of. He left the systematic numbering of the "Stuuût" shows aside for some themes with Raoul and the rest of his family (a rally in the "Stutuuût", the camping in "Raoul go au Camping") or simply diversifying the show title ("Raoulade et Riettes").
