evenko and Sugar Nation are proud to announce their partnership in putting on the upcoming ground-breaking show Sugar Sammy: You're Gonna Rire - Le show franglais. Comedian Sugar Sammy plans to unite the two solitudes under one roof to experience a bilingual comedy show. Truly capturing the essence of what it is to be a Montrealer, he will be jumping from one language to the other in the same show, in the same routine and sometimes in the same sentence: a first in Canada.

Sugar Sammy is the biggest Quebec comedian on the English comedy scene right now. He tours ten months a year, on 5 continents, and has visited some of the largest cities in the world. Still, Montreal remains his first love, his hometown. The content of this show will specifically address Montreal residents and will not be presented elsewhere in the world. On top of local content, he will unveil new material he has been testing internationally. The show will be held in a traditional stand up comedy club format with special guests. 

This project also announces an evenko and Sugar Nation partnership, Sugar Sammy’s production company.  February 29th, 2012, premiere night, will be Sugar Sammy’s birthday. What better way for him to celebrate a day that comes only once every 4 years than on a stage, with his biggest Anglo and Franco fans in the audience, in his favourite city, in his favourite province, in his favourite country? Sugar Sammy invites Quebecers of all walks of life, of all origins and beliefs, who live, work and survive in our fair city to come together in laughter.
