Certainly, we would have preferred a new season of Beaux malaises, but since the comedian does not seem in a hurry to bring his excellent comedy back on the air, his talk show will do the trick. Presented every week live from Espace St-Denis in Montreal, it will count on a few collaborators, including Katherine Levac, Daniel Grenier, Maude Landry and Pierre Brassard. Based on the handful of excerpts from the pilot posted online over the past few days, the adventure looks promising, particularly the scripted interview segment. As for The Last Link, this fiction miniseries inserted into the show, it will star Didier Lucien, Isabel Richer, Martin Drainville and Geneviève Schmidt. First guest: Patrick Huard.
Sacred Comedy Show of the Year at the last Olivier Awards, Pierre-Yves Roy-Desmarais’ first one-man show is now available for free on YouTube. Detail to mention, this is the recording of a performance delivered at L’Olympia in 2022, and not that of the event that the comedian organized last summer at the Bell Center, to complete his tour of 256 performances in unveiling “the best joke in the world.” Our colleague Marissa Groguhé really liked the stand-up comedy proposal, in 2021. “His gestures are exuberant, his facial expressions alone trigger hilarity. It’s quite a character that he presents to us. He varies his numbers so we never get bored,” she wrote.
Recently on TikTok, you may have seen this video of around sixty seconds which shows the host Rose-Aimée Automne T. Morin in the middle of a vulva molding session. This left field topo is taken from Beyond Sex, a new show which (trend expression alert) “attempts to democratize subjects that are still taboo”. Co-led by Jonathan Roberge, this weekly meeting brings together experts (Olivier “Le pharmachien” Bernard, sexologist Julie Lemay, physiotherapist Caroline Arbor, gynecologist Jeanne Laflamme), colorful collaborators (Michelle Labrèche-Larouche, Louise Deschâtelets, Preach , Mélanie Couture) and guests who are not afraid to talk about sexuality. This week: actress Catherine Brunet.
Six years after being taken off the air on V, the Quebec adaptation of the British format Cash Cab is back on the road, but this time, in a new daily formula that brings together four drivers. Alexandre Barrette leaves his steering wheel to Michelle Desrochers, Patrick Groulx, Dominic Paquet and Kevin Raphaël, who will travel the streets – littered with orange cones – of Montreal to earn money (up to $2,500 per trip) for passengers who respond correctly on some general knowledge questions. Every Friday, a guest driver will take control of the mobile quiz. This week, to break the ice, the producers retained the services of Mona from Grenoble.
