Sugar Sammy | Comedy with zing | Vancouver at Schema : more than ethnic

Sugar Sammy | Comedy with zing | Vancouver

There's an old saying that more or less goes like this: "laughter is a universal language." Well, Canadian comedian SUGAR SAMMY took this very literally. Not only does he discuss various ethnic issues in his comedy, including his experiences with the arranged marriages of his Indian background, but he does it in up in four languages (English, French, Hindi, and Punjabi) during any one show. You can't get much more universal.

Here's Sugar Sammy on his ethnic-brand of comedy: "I do the ethnic stuff a bit because of my multicultural group of friends and the environment I live in. I think the second you start thinking about producing material based on how well it's going to sell, it starts suffering in quality. You have to really tell your story when you're up there. I think that's the key."

He'll be playing at Lafflines Comedy Club in New Westminister, BC until January 5th (INFO).
