Melha Bedia (born 22 December 1990) is a French actress, comedian, director, and screenwriter. She created and starred in the Amazon Prime Video comedy series Miskina, Poor Thing (2022–2024).

Early life

[edit]

Bedia was born in Paris, the daughter of Algerian parents; her father is from Kabylia and her mother is from Oran.[1] She is the younger sister of actor Ramzy Bedia;[2] initially, her brother did not support her comedy and acting career, citing an obligation to protect her.[3] She also has a sister named Rania.[4]

Bedia played for the Paris Saint-Germain girls' academy team in her youth.[5][6] She was educated at a private Catholic school, skipping second grade and obtaining her baccalauréat at the age of 16. She later enrolled at the Sorbonne, but dropped out before graduating.[4][7]

Career

[edit]

Bedia began her comedy career opening for French rapper Diam's while working as her stylist on tour.[7][8] In 2018, after taking on smaller acting roles, she co-wrote and starred in Ballsy Girl [fr], a film about a woman who takes up pole dancing to embrace her femininity.[5] At the 45th César Awards in 2020, Bedia co-presented the César Award for Best Cinematography with Arnaud Valois.[9]

In 2022, she co-created, co-wrote, and co-directed the Amazon Prime Video comedy series Miskina, Poor Thing.[10] After a 2025 appearance on the show Liars Club on Amazon Prime Video, Bedia was criticized for using the term "bande de gwers", an offensive term toward white, Christian, non-Muslim people.[11]
