Allalou who lost his father early began at the age of thirteen to work to support his family.

He successively practiced jobs as pharmacy clerk, bookseller and tramway worker.

At the age of fifteen, he began frequenting the Foyer du soldat where he played skits and sang songs (he was a visionary and eccentric comic singer), becoming accustomed to venues.

He attended galas Karsenty and performances by Georges Abiad and Azzedine's Egyptian theatre companies in the early twenties.

He thus began to produce sketches which dealt with subjects drawn primarily from everyday life: marriage, divorce, alcoholism.
