Originally designed for Echorouk TV, the series were acquired by EPTV and air starting March 12, 2017 on Télévision Algérienne and A3.

The goal of the program is to select a comedian from an initially large group of hopefuls.

[1][2] DZ Comedy Show is widely similar in its format to NBC's Last Comic Standing.

Télévision Algérienne talent scouts Mohamed Khassani, Nassim Hadouche, Kamel Abdet and Abdelkader Jeriou hold open casting calls in seven wilayas around Algeria: Algiers, Constantine, Annaba, Oran, Sétif, Béjaïa and Ouargla.

They select then, from a group of 400 candidats, only 24 comics aged between 16 and 60 years from the callbacks, who will be invited to participate in a semifinal qualifying round in Algiers, where they will perform and compete against each other.
