Khadija Gouttay Takes Her One-Woman Show ‘I’m Just a Wliya’ to Rabat

Following a successful first performance in Casablanca, Gouttay is bringing the show to a new audience in the capital, building on the momentum of its debut.

Casablanca – Moroccan comedian Khadija Gouttay is heading to Rabat with her first one-woman show, “I’m Just a Wliya,” taking place at “Salle Ba Hnini” on July 31.

Following a successful first performance in Casablanca, Gouttay is bringing the show to a new audience in the capital, building on the momentum of its debut.

The show takes audiences through the everyday situations and anecdotes that are familiar to Moroccans, from family life and social media to friendships and relationships.

Gouttay turns these shared experiences into comedy, drawing on moments from everyday Moroccan life and presenting them with her signature humor and irony.

The result is a show built around the kind of situations that make audiences laugh not only because they are funny, but because they are instantly recognizable.

From ‘Stand Up’ to her own show

Gouttay first rose to prominence through her participation in the comedy show “Stand Up,” broadcast on Morocco’s Al Aoula channel. Since then, she has continued to build her presence in the country’s comedy scene while developing a strong following online.

On social media, Gouttay has also established herself as a familiar face to Moroccan audiences, sharing humorous videos and observations that have resonated with a growing community of followers.

Her transition from short-form online content to a full-length one-woman show marks another step in a career that has continued to grow since her early days in stand-up comedy.

A dream finally coming true

Beyond the laughter, Gouttay’s first performance in Casablanca also carried a deeply personal significance.

In an emotional video shared on social media following the show, the comedian appeared in tears on stage, reflecting on the weight of finally seeing a long-held dream come true.

“My tears here weren’t a weakness. It was a moment I dreamed of ever since I started stand-up comedy. I suffered and endured to be here, but God is great and hard work pays off,” she wrote.

Now, with her Rabat performance approaching, Gouttay is taking “I’m Just a Wliya” to another stage, inviting audiences to laugh at the familiar, celebrate the shared experiences that make up everyday Moroccan life, and join her in a new chapter of her comedy journey.
