The Montrealer will be performing a new show on a 20-city tour starting March 22 and running through Aug. 31. He has conquered this city, province and country with his piquant equal-opportunity bilingual satire You’re Gonna Rire 2. He’s constantly killing on the franco comedy front in Europe, with barbs directed at enthralled audiences that soak it all up.  But is the U.S. ready for the full-on Sugar Sammy attack? We’ll find out soon enough.  The Montreal native is set to launch his biggest-ever comedy invasion of the U.S. Starting on March 22 and running through Aug. 31, he will be performing a newly created anglo show — with no shortage of political and social potshots — on a...

It was a sold out crowd at the Salle Pierre Mercure last Saturday night (June 3) that witnessed what Montreal comedian Sugar Sammy had to say in his new bilingual show “You’re Gonna Rire 2”. And amongst the torrents of laughter that emitted from this bilingual, multi-cultural audience – and a few groans (but hey, that’s to be expected) – you quickly realized that Sugar Sammy is a shining example of the stand-up comedian as social observer and critic, especially when it comes to the raw nerve that is the state of unpredictability and absurdity in the province of Quebec. Needless to say, Sammy was in top form and certainly did not disappoint. His quiver was full of pointed arrows and hit the target...

While much of You’re Gonna Rire 2 is scripted, a good portion isn’t. It’s a grittier, much harder-hitting Sugar Sammy. But if you were tickled by his first bilingual spectacle, his follow-up, You’re Gonna Rire 2, will induce uncontrolled body spasms, and, guaranteed, you will “rire” like you haven’t for far too long a time.  It’s been seven years since Sugar Sammy wrapped his ground-breaking, first You’re Gonna Rire, the best-selling debut one-man show in Quebec history.   Thankfully, Sugar Sammy is back and just in the nick of time for audiences more in need of mirth than ever. He has kicked off

His new show, You’re Gonna Rire 2, is already the hottest ticket in town, and he’s just getting started. He seems so chill surveying the city atop Mount Royal. He loves the view, all the more so since one can’t really discern detour signs, orange cones or construction chaos from this vantage point.  So does Sugar Sammy in mellow mode suggest his new show, You’re Gonna Rire 2, will be a softer, gentler version of the first?  Yeah, right!   “I’m just looking at the city as I get ready to invade it,” Sugar Sammy chimes, that ever-mischievous twinkle in his eyes.   While again bringing the two solitudes together with much mirth on one level, Sugar Sammy will get...

Comedian Sugar Sammy has made a career on speaking about uncomfortable topics, and he plans to bring that same brand to the Halifax concert this week. His Friday, January 20 show will feature the multi-talented stage presence at his best. He can’t wait to do the show in the area. “This is my second time doing the solo show in Halifax. I came during my 2019 Canadian tour, and we’re already sold out,” said Sugar Sammy. At the time of the interview, he had just released obstructed seats, and that’s all that was left. He wrapped up four shows in Winnipeg this week, and will head to a double-header in Moncton afterwards. “I love the Maritimes. It’s loose and people make shows an evening out....
