In 1988, Gad left Casablanca to go to Montreal. He stayed there for 4 years, during which he was a political science student for one year, worked on radio, wrote humorous stories and played them in night clubs.
In 1992, he came to Paris and took Le Cours Florent course where he has, among others, Isabelle Nanty as a teacher. He wrote a one-man show named 'Décalages' which told a lot about his experiences in Montreal and Paris in 1996. Three years later, he presented his second one-man show named 'La Vie Normale', again staged by Isabelle Nanty.

- Everywhere I go in America, when they learn I'm from France, the first thing they ask me is if I'm a huge Jerry Lewis fan. I've never been able to figure that out. Maybe it's because of his body movements. It's just so weird. Maybe it's because of the theatrical comedy tradition in France. But it just makes no sense to me... I remember someone asked Jerry why he never does political material. He said that was funny, because no one ever asks those guys who do political stuff why they never do neurotic observational material. That's a good point.
