Pittsburgh, PA, August 25, 2026 —
Noel Godin, a Belgian comedian, writer, and activist recognized for his unique form of protest involving throwing pies at public figures, has died. He was 80 years old.
Godin was widely known for his acts of “entartage,” a term he coined which can be translated to “anarcho-confectionery.” Through this method, he targeted numerous high-profile individuals, including figures such as Bill Gates and Jean-Luc Godard.
Operating under the pseudonym Georges Le Gloupier, Godin carried out these pie-throwing incidents over several years. His actions, while unconventional, were intended as a form of activism and satire directed at celebrities and other prominent personalities.
The specific details surrounding Godin’s death were not provided.
