My mother thinks that I moved to Québec to improve my French but no, for that I would have moved to France.
Oh no, no! It's not that you don't speak it properly. It's just that you...
speak it as though your mouth is full of poutine! It's not your fault. It's just cultural!
So, you've been in Montréal for two months, right?
About a week after I got the grant from TVJ.
So, uh, you came here alone?
Like a big girl.
You're not lonely?
No! I mean... it's Montréal! No, no...
That's right, it's "Montréal."
No, no, not lonely. -Really, eh?
Nope.
Okay, I made a list of themes for my show seeing as we have to work together...
I say a word and you say the first thing that comes to mind: "Folklore."
"Folklore"... Ugh, the "Bonhomme Carnaval" with a grenade in his mouth.
Hah, that's good. Okay, grenade. Not bad.
Next, okay.
"St. Boniface, Manitoba."
Ah, the stripper's brunch special at Club St. B.
Wow, really?
For sure, it's a great way to meet people when you're on the road.
Okay... that's the first thing that came to mind. K... stripper's brunch.
Alright, how 'bout "Québécois on holidays."
The "Bonhomme Carnaval" at the stripper's brunch at Club St. B.
Hah, good one. Club St. B. Well, if there's a good brunch...
That's right. If there's a good brunch...
So, uh, you're a "wig comedian"?
Pfft! I'm a "character comedian."
Exactly, a "wig comedian."
And, you do "*** off" comedy!
No, no, no. I do "*** you" comedy. There is a difference.
Oh, right! But seriously, are you this much of an *** with everybody?
Uh, no. Just with pretty girls from St. Boniface.
Why do you need to provoke people like that?
We've got no choice. We're losing all our heroes!
People who speak the truth and speak from the gut.
Yeah, it really sucks that Oprah's gone.
Ah, come on! -Dude, I'm joking.
Y'know, the Pierre Falardeaus... the René Levesques... -Ya, ya, ya. I know, I know...
Jesus Christ, Miche, tell me what stokes your fire? Why do you make "Franco-Manitoban wig comedy"?
You want to know? -Yeah.
"Passe-Partout."
I'm serious. This is a serious question.
Me too. I am serious. Hey, I grew up in the middle of the Prairies with one French TV station.
That's terrible...
Come on! One French TV station and it was all Québécois culture ... and it was beautiful...
And, I wondered, when are they going to see us out here? And I'm still wondering....
When are they going to see US for Christ's sake!
Wow, you Franco-Manitobans smoke some pretty good stuff.
Pfft, *** you man!
I have something for you.
A little surprise?
Ya, a little surprise...
No, not a wig.
Waiter! Two tequilas to go! We're going to Parc La Fontaine.
