Philippe Laprise: Au sommet is a stand-up show by Quebec comedian Philippe Laprise, presented at Théâtre Desjardins in Montreal. It is his fifth one-man show, and it takes place in the venue's Salle Jean-Grimaldi on February 19, 2027.
About the show
The show marks Laprise's 25 years in comedy and his 50th birthday. Its subject is what being at the top really means today, a question the comedian turns over on stage in a fast-changing era. The tone is candid and self-deprecating: the performer does not hold back, and he is willing to poke fun at himself as much as at the world around him.
What to expect
- A solo performance in French, by a comedian with a long career behind him
- An unfiltered, personal look at success, ambition and getting older
- A good dose of self-mockery alongside the sharper observations
This suits visitors who enjoy Quebec humour and the intimate rhythm of a single performer speaking directly to the room. Those who prefer a light evening out will find it a relaxed choice, while the subject matter gives it more bite than a purely silly night.
Getting there
