Runaway is a gripping drama series inspired by modern events that tells the tragic yet hopeful story of Fanny, a young girl from a good suburban home whose life spirals out of control when she falls for a manipulative and abusive man. Sadly too familiar, Runaway recounts every parent’s worst nightmare, where one bad decision leads to a horrifying ordeal.

Over the course of ten one-hour episodes, Runaway brings this harrowing tale to life through the various characters’ perspectives, all closely intertwined. We follow Fanny’s journey as she grows increasingly bored of her comfortable suburban existence, craving maturity, independence and adventure. One fateful day, she’s introduced to Damien, an aspiring musician who lures her into what promises to be a highly toxic lifestyle.

Les pays d’en haut is the untold story of the Quebec Laurentians (Canada). Prepare for a gripping, hyper-realistic drama of the struggles of a hopeful people, as they cultivate the wild land they must colonize. The heart-wrenching love-triangle between innocent, strong Donalda, her beloved, Alexis, Ste-Adèle’s village hero, and greedy Séraphin, the mayor’s usurary son, show the resilience of the brave against a backdrop of scheming politics. The earthy priest, Curé Labelle, keeps moral order and inspires hope for the poor. He has big plans for a national railroad, to develop the North, bring back the youth draining to the U.S. for work, and political aspirations to link together the French colonies as a stronghold against English Canada.

Burnout was not part of the plan.

Disciplined, organized, professionally accomplished, freshly divorced and mother to a little boy she adores, Valerie Danault had only one true master: her schedule. And she was fine with that. Until the morning Valerie found lice in her son’s hair.

This small setback set off a chain reaction that escalated to a dramatic police incident and Valerie was arrested. By the time she finally got to work, she had missed an important meeting, her boss was fit to be tied and she was fired. That’s when all hell broke loose. With no job, no money and no friends, Valerie is forced to look life squarely in the eye and make some major changes. And if that wasn’t hard enough, she has to do it all with her mother, Madeleine, breathing down her neck.

It is easy to say “where there’s a will there’s a way” until you face a challenge so impossible that having the will to change just isn’t enough.  Welcome to professional burnout.

The Boomerang Effect: Adults Moving Back in with their Parents.

Karine and Patrick, a loving, debt-ridden couple, has lost their dream of having their own restaurant, forcing them to swallow their pride and accept to sleep in Karine’s parents’ basement until they are on their feet again.“ But we’ll be out of here soon!” they optimistically declare …Yeah, sure they will……

Our heroes just can’t admit that their shortcomings may have contributed to the failure of their restaurant – because that would be a tragedy – if it weren’t a  situational comedy!

What if your charming daughter is in love with an affectionate yet slovenly guy, who has some issues with you, your very organized wife, and your other son-in-law -who is admittedly an asshole – but at least he’s rich and not living with you! Now you’re back to parenting instead of enjoying retirement.

Boomerang is a romantic comedy based on an increasingly prevalent phenomenon everywhere in the world, as adults move back in with their parents, either to help them in their golden years, to offset financial stress or because of one of life’s setbacks.

French Canada’s answer to Seinfeld, Martin Matte’s television series is about, well… nothing – Rien du tout! Add a maid, a dentist, a doctor, a toaster salesman, a filthy rich star… and what have you got?? Off the wall, outlandish humor that takes the most tedious, mundane, everyday event and pushes it beyond the limit! It’s a series that walks that fine line between playful innocence… and a playful eagerness to challenge contemporary family and social taboos. Working off the momentum of his two wildly popular ninety- minute television specials – which garnered more than 50% market shares taped from 2 live shows that broke ticket sales records – Martin Matte is now parleying that same success into primetime sitcom gold!!

Alexandre Barrette has the endearing ability to laugh at himself and at his life’s imperfections. He is the sole writer of the comedy he performs, Imparfait—a show of a very personal nature, free of any self-censorship.

Despite being a recognized TV and radio host (Gémeaux Award 2015 for best host: Taxi Payant), the stage is where he loves to be. His solo show has won unanimous praise from Quebec critics, earning him the much-coveted Platinum Ticket Award (100,000 tickets sold), confirming his growing presence in the hearts of his fans.

AWARDS & NOMINATIONS

1 nomination ADISQ—Comedy DVD of the year (2018)

Philippe Bond demonstrates the extent of his storytelling talent in Philippe Bond 2, by turning the trivia of daily life into outlandish tales, leaving his fans in hysterics.

In his second one-man show, the comedian who describes himself as a “teenager with credit…” openly discusses his “crisis of the 30s”, flouts his single status and lousy social life, and shamelessly jokes about his “firsts.”

With his extraordinary verve and exceptional self-deprecating humour, Philippe Bond is in his element on stage. He paints the portrait of a sprightly and well intentioned guy, who turns everything he touches into a mini calamity… like the time he showed up to a housewarming party with fireworks…

In her first solo show, Korine Côté delivers a combination of intelligent, genuine, wry and self-deprecating comedy that resonates with audiences everywhere. Her career is thriving and shows no signs of slowing down. On stage, on TV, on the web—Korine is everywhere!

Irresistible, multi-faceted, bright and always funny, Korine has been touted as “Best new comedian of 2015” for MON SHOW by the Huffington Post.

AWARDS & DISTINCTIONS

Nomination: ADISQ—Comedy DVD of the year (2018)

This is a first comedy show for comedian Valérie Blais who left audiences in stitches in the TV series, Tout sur moi.

At 46, she jumped into the ring with no filter whatsoever and the ability to get big laughs at her own expense. Since emerging on the comedy scene, she has been called a “veritable breath of fresh air,” winning audiences over with her intelligent humour, bold material and liberating outspokenness. The best remedy for our collective cynicism!

Scotstown
Raw and provocative, Scotstown by writer/actor Fabien Cloutier will take you on a wild ride through the twists and turns of Quebec’s colourful mythology. You’ll experience memorable drunken nights, have supernatural encounters and be introduced to some grim characters. This audacious tale where wit meets anger will leave no one indifferent.

Cranbourne
Faced with an ever-changing world, a man aims to strive for stability, but nothing in “Chabot’s guy’s” life seems conventional. From the cake caramel at the Vachon plant that decides to oppose his fate, to the scatology festival in Saint-Magloire de Bellechasse, the road to happiness is rife with little betrayals and plenty of deviations.

Rêves d’acteurs gives our favourite actors and actresses the chance to live out their professional fantasies in a film trailer created specifically for them. From horror flicks to musicals, no genre is off limits! The series aired in 2013-2014 on ARTV.

Right from the start, Mario Jean has always had a special place in the hearts of Quebec audiences. With over 1,200 shows under his belt and close to one million spectators, Mario has become one of the province’s must-see comedians. His unique type of comedy focuses on topics that connect with people and unite them. He is uncomplicated, relevant and spontaneous—a well-rounded performer with an exceptionally lovable personality. This 2014 recording of his fifth one-man show, is not to be missed!

Mike Ward is back with a third one-man show. Entitled CHIEN, this new show is 100% Mike Ward at his best and is entirely written and script-edited by the comedian himself. It’s all bark and maybe even some bite!

Comedian, writer and actor, Adib also took home the top prize at the Franco-Quebec comedy festival in Lourdes, France in 2012. In his very first one-man show, under the excellent direction of Martin Matte, Adib describes the world as he sees it will and becomes a fresh, new face on the Quebec comedy scene.

AWARDS & DISTINCTIONS

Numix Award— Best Original Interactive Production (2014)

Gémeaux Award— Best Interactive Series for Digital Media (2014)

The web series, Disparus, is the brainchild of comedic group, Les Chick’n Swell (Ghyslain Dufresne, Francis Cloutier and Daniel Grenier). Produced by actor/director Robin Aubert (member of the original Chick’n Swell formation), Disparus stars Alexis Martin, Luc Guérin and the group’s three comedians.

Built around an outrageous plot line, the web series propels the viewer into the very heart of a new type of investigation: from his or her own screen, the viewer commands the action and explores crime scenes to discover clues and make decisions that will influence the outcome of the story. Just like in a video game, the viewer works closely with the main character, Detective Toby Neault (Alexis Martin), of the “Sécurité du Québec,” in the investigation of the strange disappearance of the comedic trio.

Cast also includes: Luis Bertrand, Luc Senay, Mathilde Lavigne, Marie‐Ève Milot, Norman Helms and Denis Harvey.

Philippe Bond graduated from the École Nationale de l’humour in 2002 and debuted on the radio show, Les méchants du matins du monde, on Radio Énergie in Hull, where he caused quite a stir! When he was barely five years out of school he opened for Louis-José Houde’s, Suivre la parade show, introducing his comedy to a broad public across Quebec.

Since September 2010, he has sold 140,000 tickets for his first one-man show, which premiered at the Bell Centre on April 5, 2013 in front of more than 6000 fans! He has swept the public and the critics off their feet with brilliantly-told stories of his family and childhood, a seemingly inexhaustible source of uproariously funny situations!

His show aired on TVA in the Fall of 2012 with ratings reaching 630,000 viewers. The DVD of the show has already sold close to 13,000 copies and is still available.

A full hour of sketches, clips, interviews and live musical and multimedia performances with Les Chick’n Swell and their special guests, featuring Rémy Girard, Pascale Picard, Sylvie Moreau, Vincent Vallières and many more.

Recognized for their imaginative, clever and absurd comedy that brings people together, Les Chick’n Swell & cie. presents the group’s trademark qualities: no disrespect, no hamming it up—just surprisingly tasteful and good-natured fun, with freshness and incredible creativity.

Shows aired December 1st and 8th, 2012 on Radio-Canada.

“I’m always a little off track!” admits Claudine Mercier. Good for her, and good for us as well because people who follow the herd are not as funny or endearing!

Claudine opens up more than she ever has before, in this fresh, new creation combining comic characters, unflinching stand-up and incomparable vocal performances and impressions. Her pursuit of simple happiness leads to desperate attempts to escape her urban comforts for a life closer to nature. She discovers however, that nature does not welcome everyone back!

Having performed in Los Angeles, Paris, Dubai, London, Toronto, Dublin and for Canadian troops in Afghanistan, Mike Ward toured his show, Mike Ward s’eXpose, across Quebec. Script-edited by François Avard, the show features Ward’s trademark style of comedy, best described as irreverent, audacious and brazen. Ward presents his unabashed—and over the top—yet pertinent views on poverty, racism, religion, sex, disabilities, war and other “entertaining” topics

Performed almost 200 times with over 135,000 tickets sold, Mike Ward s’eXpose, conquered Quebec audiences and was awarded an Olivier Award for Best Direction. It was the first comedy show in Quebec to be presented in over 15 cinemas, and the first in Quebec to be sold for download!

Footage was captured in December 2012 and was presented on TVA, attracting more than 365,000 viewers to their television screens. To date, more than 7,000 copies of the DVD have been sold!

Lauded over 250 times by more than 150,000 spectators, the show, Gare au gros nounours has won critical acclaim!

Mario takes on some hard-hitting topics for his fourth solo show: praying, hypersexualisation, politics, the truth, adolescence, and of course, food, (among other things)… While it’s true that Mario Jean seems like a big softie, a real teddy bear, his claws are sharp and he never misses!
