Q·Q with Tom Power

Sugar Sammy can make you laugh dans plus d'une langue

A decade after changing the face of stand-up with his bilingual tour You're Gonna Rire, the Montreal comedian is bringing his truly multicultural humour back to Canada.

Whether he's performing in English, French, Hindi or Punjabi, in places like Texas, Australia or here in Canada, Montreal comedian Sugar Sammy has found that poking fun at the things that separate us may actually be the secret to bringing audiences together.

After becoming a stand-up comedy megastar in France, and then one of the judges on the French version of America's Got Talent, Sugar Sammy is now back home touring across Canada with a new bilingual stand-up show called You're Gonna Rire 2. He sits down with Q's Tom Power to talk about it.
