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...

He’ll deliver his honest assessment of where the US is on the world stage, leaving the audience in passionate agreement, heated opposition, anger, joy, and a variety of perspectives and opinions. Politically incorrect?

Sugar Sammy est moins virulent envers les candidats de La France a un incroyable talent, depuis le début de cette 18e saison. Le sniper du jury a-t-il s’est-il vraiment adouci ?Depuis le début de cette 18e saison, l’humoriste Sugar Sammy semble avoir rangé ses piques de venin. Le Canadien paraît plus bienveillant, aimable, verse quelques larmes et est même le premier à prendre la parole pour féliciter
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
À l’occasion de son retour sur les scènes québécoises avec le spectacle You’re gonna rire 2, à la suite du fameux one-man show bilingue avec lequel il a tourné pendant quatre ans, La Presse a invité l’humoriste Sugar Sammy à devenir directeur d’un jour de la section Arts et être.LE MOT DU DIRECTEUR : POURQUOI SUGAR SAMMY« Crois-tu qu’on peut rire de tout ? » À cette question d’une lectrice, Sugar Sammy répond le plus simplement du monde, non sans effet comique : « Oui. » Cette assurance que l’on peut tout tourner en...
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...
