In 1987, Marcel Béliveau appeared on French TV show 'Surprise Sur Prises' and opened the doors of France to his fellow Québec comedians. Anthony Kavanagh, Michel Courtemanche, Stéphane Rousseau, Véronique Dicaire, Rachid Badouri and Sugar Sammy have all successfully tried their hand at French comedy, and the next generation of comedians is assured with Mariana Maza, Reda Saoui and Virginie Fortin. This documentary, commented by Québec and French personalities, retraces their history through hilarious sketches, cult parodies, TV and radio shows and happenings.

Sugar Sammy’s bilingual show performed 100% in french, in Quebec! The show that struck a chord by playfully undertaking topics such as sovereignty and french language laws. A show that simply transcended comedy and marked Quebec’s cultural fabric in a profound way. A must see, if you're from La Belle Province!
