Rising star and social media sensation Gstaad Guy is the comedian everyone should be following right now. Although he first made his debut on Instagram at the start of 2019, his genesis truly began when his video gently mocking the pretentious, mega-rich visitors who visit the presitigous Swiss holiday spot of Gstaad went viral on the global messaging system WhatsApp. The remarkable response to his accurate take on Gstaad vacationers also led to the expansion of the comedy creation on social media, with more memes and videos poking fun at the uber-rich population of Europe and their over-the-top lifestyle – such as the comedian’s ‘Commercial Flight’ video on YouTube, a parody of the Gloria Gaynor classic ‘I will Survive’.
The internet comedian’s pompous main character Constance became increasingly popular online racking up more than 100k Instagram followers, and soon word of his hysterically on-point satire spread globally with Gstaad Guy amassing thousands of followers from the United States. This then led to the creation of the ideal foil for Gstaad Guy’s slick snob Constance, his goofy cousin from the States named Colton.
Born and raised in London, Gstaad Guy is fluent in three languages and is just as naturally funny in real life as he is online. The talented star is also determined to give back to society, and created the “Push Hop Challenge” to support and raise money for NHS Charities.
