One of the hottest comedians on the international circuit, Sugar Sammy has performed over 1,600 shows in 31 countries, in English, French, Hindi, and Punjabi.
In the fall of 2016, he made his debut in France, performing sold-out preview performances at Paris’ mythic Point-Virgule theatre. After a two-month preview tour around France, he officially launched his new show, written specifically for French audiences, in March 2017 at Paris’ Théâtre l’Européen. Critics and the public alike were unanimous in their praise of the show. GQ France even declared that “the funniest man in France is a Quebecer.” Sugar Sammy’s love affair with France continues at the Alhambra Theatre, selling out the 600-seater after initially conquering a 350-seat theatre. The “new king of comedy,” as he was crowned by the prestigious Quotidien TV show, has performed over 170 shows in France so far. He ranks in the “Best of 2017” by Paris Matchmagazine and was named Best Comedian of 2018 in the sixth edition of Les Étoiles du Parisien, Le Parisien magazine’s prestigious annual countdown - broadcast on the C8 network - becoming the first Quebecer to win the prize. 2019 brings more touring across France, another visit to Belgium and Switzerland and a show in Luxembourg, the 32nd in a long list of countries in which he’s performed. He'll make his triumphant return to Paris as he continues his residency at the Alhambra from April 4 to June 1, 2019.
Sugar Sammy’s French connection has grown even stronger. In the fall of 2018, between legs of his European tour, he was chosen as a judge for the 13th season of La France a un incroyable talent, France’s answer to America’s Got Talent. Produced by Fremantle Media, one of Europe’s leading TV, radio and production companies, the show is watched by an audience of 3.5 million each week and broadcast on M6, one of France’s biggest networks.
