Sugar Sammy is one of the most popular and richest Humorist who was born on February 29, 1976 in Montreal, Montreal, Canada. Samir Khullar was born February 29, 1976 and raised in the Côte-des-Neiges neighbourhood of Montreal, Quebec; he worked in his parents’ convenience store. At the age of eight he saw Eddie Murphy’s 1983 comedy special Delirious, and credits the experience as being a defining moment in his life. From then on, he knew what he wanted to do. Khullar also names Martin Lawrence, Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle as comedic influences.
After traveling across the globe to perform in many comedy festivals and clubs, Sugar Sammy hit the road again in 2007 to present around the world his first one-man show “Down with the Brown”. He tackled everything from life in Quebec to his take on sex and race from the perspective of an Indo-Canadian. His debut comedy album followed, Down With the Brown. It was released on January 15, 2008 and coincided with a Canadian tour.
In an unprecedented experiment, Sugar Sammy’s You’re Gonna Rire is the first large-scale Anglo-Franco comedy show in the country. In 2011, he created a show in a language called Franglais, an ode to the common Montreal experience of switching between English and French throughout the day. It was described as “50.5 per cent English, 49.5 per cent French” as a reference to the 1995 referendum results. Initially conceived as a single night at the 1,300-seat Olympia theater, tickets sold so fast that it extended to 45 performances, with a total of 53,000 tickets sold by April 2013.
The 2012 Grand Prix Créa, which recognizes Quebec’s best advertisement of the year, has been awarded to the Sid Lee agency for Vidéotron’s English-language Prank Calls campaign featuring Sugar Sammy. Sugar Sammy also won the best actor award for his performance. The campaign aimed at showing its customer- service employees’ patience and efficiency, while also mentioning the company’s various services. In each spot, Sammy called Videotron’s customer service with a bizarre problem designed to test the employees’ abilities while highlighting a particular aspect of Vidéotron’s services. “The writing and direction are perfect,” the jury explained. “Because Sugar Sammy delivers the goods so masterfully, viewers understand everything and laugh a lot.” According to Claude Foisy, Vice President, Brand Management, of Videotron. “These are actual calls answered by real employees, who demonstrate their dedication to their mission of providing their customers with the best possible experience”.
In 2007 Sugar Sammy appeared in Quebec’s Le Show Raisonnable, and in 2009 performed in the French edition of the Just for Laughs Festival. His point of view concerning Quebec politics and culture from the perspective of a minority earned him a standing ovation and “The Revelation of the Year” award. In 2010 he made headlines again by presenting an award alongside Quebec political leader Pauline Marois. He teased her incessantly about sovereignty and the language debate.
