Thomas Ngijol (born October 30, 1978 in Paris) is a French comedian, actor and director. A stand-up specialist, he became known to the general public through his work with the Jamel Comedy Club. The son of Gilbert Ngijol, a Cameroonian sociologist, and Crescence Ngijol, a nurse, he was born in Paris and grew up in Maisons-Alfort, in the Val-de-Marne department of the Paris region. In the 2000s he worked as an activity leader at the Aimé and Eugénie Cotton elementary school in Bonneuil-sur-Marne, in the Val-de-Marne department. He then met Dieudonné while attending café-theater classes held at the Théâtre de la Main d'Or in Paris. He was noticed at the Juste pour rire festival in Nantes with a special tribute to Richard Pryor. He then performed for a time at "Milk" in Paris. He wrote a one-man show titled "Bienvenue", which he performed in small Paris venues until Kader Aoun noticed him. Aoun opened the doors of the Jamel Comedy Club for him. He appeared in the comedy produced and directed by Alex Alabaz of the Kourtrajmé collective, "Les Abyssiens". He also became known on television on Canal+, on the show Le Grand Journal, with a daily column for two seasons (2006–2008). His best-known sketches are "Un Superman noir!", "Les jeux olympiques d'hiver?", "Le Bac" and "Mon retour du Cameroun!".

In September 2008 he joined Stéphane Bern's show Le Fou du roi on France Inter. In 2010, during the World Cup, he hosted the show Ils se foot du monde with Darren Tulett on the Comédie! channel. In October 2010 he directed his first film with his colleague and associate Fabrice Éboué, titled "Case départ" — a popular comedy about slavery, a subject rarely treated in this way in French cinema, set in the West Indies. He is also one of the lead actors and a screenwriter. The film, a box-office success, was a "pleasant surprise" according to the French media. At the 2012 Cannes Film Festival he was named patron of the Youth Award. In February 2014 the comedy "Le Crocodile du Botswanga" was released, in which he played one of the lead roles alongside Fabrice Éboué, who directed the film; it was another success. In July 2014 he directed, wrote and starred in his own film — the comedy "FastLife". The name of the main character, Ébagé, is a reference to his name in Cameroon. His partner, actress Carole Rocher, gave birth to a daughter, Angeline, in May 2014, shortly before the film's release.
