What started out as an experiment and a show that Sugar Sammy wanted to prove to himself could be done has turned into a record-breaking four years of notable accomplishments.
 
You’re Gonna Rire has opened the doors to a new kind of comedy in Quebec, where people from both French and English linguistic backgrounds can go and enjoy a show together. Many have gone to see the show more than once – coming back with friends to help them discover this language-barrier free comedy. And it’s not too late to see the show for the first (or third) time - every show is a new experience thanks to Sugar Sammy’s interaction with the audience in the hall.
 
And it’s not over – yet. Here’s your last chance to see this groundbreaking show that has guaranteed its place in the history of Canadian comedy! In Montreal, 9 more You’re Gonna Rire shows, one You're Gonna Rire: Illegal English Edition at the Olympia are now on sale. Also, 18 shows have been added to the En Français SVP Quebec tour, including 2 shows at the Olympia.
 
And his shows aren’t the only place where Sugar Sammy’s humour shines. This season’s #BeCH Montreal Canadiens TV campaign stars Sugar Sammy and his assistant Youppi recruiting several Canadiens players to encourage fans around the world to spread the team’s logo far and wide.
 
More Sugar Sammy, all of the time. Hurry before there's none left...
