The dice roll: Martin Matte live
Sure, we would have preferred a new season of Beaux Malaises, but since the comedian doesn’t seem to be in a rush to get his excellent comedy back on the air, his talk show will be just the ticket. It will be presented live every week at Montreal’s Espace St-Denis and will feature a number of collaborators including Katherine Levac, Daniel Grenier, Maude Landry and Pierre Brassard. Based on the few clips from the pilot that have been posted online in recent days, the adventure looks promising, especially the scripted interview section. Didier Lucien, Isabel Richer, Martin Drainville and Geneviève Schmidt will star in “The Last Link”, this fictional miniseries added to the series. First guest: Patrick Huard.

Named Sacred Comedy Show of the Year at the recent Olivier Awards, Pierre-Yves Roy-Desmarais’ first one-man show is now available for free on YouTube. In detail, it is a recording of a performance at L’Olympia in 2022 and not of the event that the comedian organized last summer at the Bell Center to complete his tour of 256 performances and “the best joke in the world” to reveal the world”. Our colleague Marissa Groguhé really liked the 2021 stand-up comedy proposal. “His gestures are exuberant, his facial expressions alone trigger cheerfulness.” It’s quite a character that he presents to us. He varies his numbers so we never get bored,” she wrote.
