Who is Sugar Sammy? That's a noticeable name, isn't it. It says he's at the Olympia in Montreal tonight. No, it says cancelled. How did Samir Khulla become Sugar Sammy? The Alumni Magazine McGill News says that they can take some credit. He began his entertainment career as a student at McGill in the late nineties. However, he's still one course away from a degree.
His shows are more than bilingual - English, French, Punjabi and Hindi. His "You're Going to Rire" is an AngloFranco comedy show. He's described it as 50.5% English and 49.5% French as a refence to the 1995 referendum results.
"Since it debuted at the Olympia Theatre in February, 2012, Sammy has been packing the 1,300-capacity hall on St. Catherine St. East ever since. He has sold 285,000 tickets, for the bilingual "You’re Gonna Rire" and the all-French "En français svp!"
His website is HERE. Articles say that he relocated to France in 2016, where he lives part time. His facebook page says he is a Comedian, shit disturber and Karen whisperer, along with a Judge on France's Got Talent.

I was going to create images in the theme of red this month. But somehow we jump to May - here's the blossom trail on Stewart Road, St. Catharines, 2020.
