Un an après son dernier spectacle au Québec, Sugar Sammy est de retour sur scène, cette fois-ci pour animer deux galas Just for Laughs à la salle Wilfrid-Pelletier. L'humoriste a été très occupé au cours de la dernière année, avec un séjour de plusieurs mois en France et quelques semaines aux états-Unis. Sugar Sammy a passé les 12 derniers mois à repousser ses limites. Lui qui n'avait jamais envisagé une carrière en France s'est finalement laissé tenter. « Ce n'est pas un public déjà conquis, il faut aller le conquérir. Pour moi, c'est un challenge qui est très cool. » Il a d'abord passé l'automne à roder son matériel...

Sugar Sammy's brand of comedy is global, which makes sense given his upbringing: he was raised in a multicultural neighborhood in French and English-speaking Montreal with Indian parents. Sugar Sammy has performed all over the world with huge tours in Canada, India and France. Now, he is touring through the United States. He is making a stop at Atlanta's Punchline Comedy Club this week, with shows running Thursday through Sunday. Improvising and riffing off the audience is a huge part of his shows. In an interview with Lois Reitzes, he said it helps him keep the material fresh. “When you do 300 to 400 shows a year, you could go into autopilot mode. It prevents me from getting there,” he...

Sugar Sammy can come home again. In fact, many wish he hadn't left home for nearly a year to make a name for himself in France. Fact is, Sugar Sammy is Montreal's — and this province's – master socio-political satirist, one of the very few comic provocateurs who is able to resonate with anglos, francos and allos. Not only would he have had a field day dealing with some of the ill-conceived, surreal silliness that has transpired in his absence, but many also feel that his constant barrage of barbs might have had a shaming impact on our decision-makers. Hello, urban rodeo in Old Montreal! Between his ongoing gig in France and a coming U.S. club tour, the comic will certainly be making his presence...
