Michel Courtemanche
Born 1964-12-11
Michel Courtemanche (born December 11, 1964 in Laval, Quebec, Canada) is a Québécois comedian and actor. He has drawn hundreds of thousands to his one-man shows in Quebec, France, Belgium and Switzerland. His debut one-man show, A New Comic is Born, ran for more than five hundred performances and earned him two Felix nominations. His second, The New Adventures of Michel Courtemanche, filled theatres in both North America and Europe and spawned his second international hit video. Courtemanche has internationally sold out enormous houses usually reserved for rock stars (although such shows are quite commonplace for comedians in Quebec). He has even inspired a popular one-of-a-kind hardcover comic book. He has starred in Québécois films La Nuit de Noces and Karmina 2, and on the Secret Adventures of Jules Verne television series, on the Sci Fi Channel (United States). His style of comedy can be best summed up as mime combined with sound effects, as he is most often seen interacting with invisible objects or even people and using his voice to complete the scene. He is also particularly good at making remarkable grimaces.

NRLise Dion appears in better shape than ever in "Le temps qui court", her 3rd career show directed by Michel Courtemanche and applauded by more than 365,000 spectators. In addition to explaining to us what she did during her absence from the stage which lasted 6 years, Lise gives news of Marcel and their teenagers... who, in principle, are no longer teenagers. Vacations in the South, technology, the passage of time, and the things you absolutely have to do in your life are among the topics she covers in an absolutely hilarious way.
