Chantal Lamarre: A Unique Voice in Canadian Comedy

Radio-Canada’s Chantal Lamarre is making waves with her debut solo show, ‘Steppettes et Cornemuse’ (Tap Shoes and Bagpipes). Lamarre, known for her diverse talents, is bringing a fresh perspective to the comedy scene, blending storytelling, monologue, and a healthy dose of whimsy.

Beyond Traditional Comedy

“I’m a bit of a fantasist,” Lamarre readily admits, describing her performance style as a mix of tap dancing and song. She consciously aims to differentiate herself from purely stand-up comedy, opting for a more layered and experimental approach. This isn’t just about telling jokes; it’s about inhabiting a character and exploring different performance styles.

A Journey of Refinement

Before hitting the road, ‘Steppettes et Cornemuse’ underwent a rigorous development process, with over 40 performances used to hone the show. This dedication to craft reflects Lamarre’s deep connection to the art of acting. For her, the true joy lies in the repetition, in fully immersing herself in a role to experience it completely.

A Long-Standing Partnership with Infoman

Lamarre also speaks with immense affection about her 26-year collaboration with the team behind the popular Radio-Canada show, Infoman, and particularly with its host, Jean-René Dufort. This long-term partnership has clearly been a cornerstone of her career, providing a platform for her creativity and a supportive environment for growth.
