Sugar Sammy

The Hollywood Reporter just named Sammy one of the top 10 rising comedy talents from around the world, and Askmen.com dubbed him Comedy’s New Rock Star.

Before he was opening for Dave Chappelle and working with the likes of George Lopez and Damon Wayans, the secret to his multi-national success was discovered at the Just For Laughs International Comedy Festival, where he was the first ever comedian to perform in both English, French and Hindi shows. Sugar Sammy was featured in his own comedy special Sugar Sammy Live in Concert for HBO Canada and on Showtime Arabia’s Sugar Sammy Live in Dubai. His other television specials include the Showtime Arabia specials, Minorities Rule and Friday Night Live, CBC’s Just For Laughs, CTV’s Comedy Now, and appearances on The Comedy Network (Canada), The Comedy Channel (Australia), and on Dutch TV.

He’s won the Just For Laughs Comedy Award for Discovery of the Festival, and garnered many other honors, including nominations for this year’s M!M!M! Awards, as well as the Canadian Comedy Award for Funniest Male Comic.
