François Pérusse

The career of comedian, author, audio montage creator and musician François Pérusse resembles that of a constantly evolving athlete, racking up record after record. Hidden behind his imposing body of work, he creates tirelessly, and his unbridled imagination is still as astonishing after 34 years. Far from hanging up his skates, Pérusse prefers to add to his already impressive record. To date, his work includes more than 4,000 Les 2 minutes du peuple radio vignettes, 16 albums, a DVD, 136 radio and TV commercials, the TV series Le Spécial du peuple, La Série du peuple, Le JourNul, On s’écoute parler, Pérusse Cité, La tite chambre and the humorous audio clips for Cirque du Soleil’s The Beatles LOVE in Las Vegas.

He has also won a plethora of awards, including 11 Félix, 7 Olivier, 1 Juno, 5 Gémeaux, 13 advertising awards (including the Mondial d’Or and the ACCT Grand Prix in Marrakech), 3 awards for the script of the animated short Cortex Academy and 7 Ruban d’or (Canadian Association of Broadcasters). François Pérusse’s generosity has been crowned by the incredible enthusiasm of an audience that has been loyal to him since his debut.
