‘A lot of times comedians do one or the other, but I try to do both at the same time’ It takes a certain level of skill and confidence to poke at cultural, social and political flaws, and make the people impacted by those flaws laugh at their own scabs and shortcomings. It’s a delicate tightrope between laughter and outrage that Canadian comedian Sugar Sammy not only does well, but also seems to relish. “It’s the best kind of comedy. I think it’s probably the most difficult as well — trying to cross the line but also keep the laughter. A lot of times comedians do one or the other, but I try to do both at the same time,” he says. It’s that intelligent, irreverent brand of humour...

Celebrating 30 Years of making The Montrealer!   Sugar Sammy: I first met Sammy on a Friday afternoon, and I was his last interview. We had time to get to know one another, trade stories, and as it turns out – we struck up a rapport. Since then we’ve met several times, and we’ve actually published three different cover stories about Sugar Sammy. Sammy is young, very cool and he helped us to reach a younger audience.  When Sammy tweets that he’s in The Montrealer or on our website, our numbers go through the roof! Our interviews are more of a conversation than a series of questions – but we still get the job done to make it interesting for our readers. He works very, very hard at what he...
