About Simon Leblanc

Simon Leblanc was born March 27, 1979 in Bromont, in Quebec's Estrie region, and graduated from the École nationale de l'humour in 2003 — the same Montreal institution that produced most of the province's working stand-ups. He spent his early career rotating through opening slots and the open-mic circuit in Montreal, Quebec City and Sherbrooke before the ComédiHa! festival in Quebec City and Juste pour rire in Montreal began featuring him in their televised galas in the late 2000s, which moved him from a regional opener into a recognised headlining name on the francophone circuit. His solo shows — multi-year tours that play the full Quebec theatre network — built him into one of the steadiest sellers in francophone stand-up, the kind of headliner who can run a complete series of dates at Théâtre St-Denis in Montreal and Salle Albert-Rousseau in Quebec City and then tour the regional rooms (Trois-Rivières, Sherbrooke, Saguenay, Rimouski, the North Shore, the Gaspésie loop, the Acadian routes through New Brunswick) for the better part of a year. The act is grounded in observational humour: family life, couples, kids, neighbourhood characters, growing up in a small Estrie town, and the small recognisable absurdities of Quebec daily life — material that is almost entirely clean, never political in a partisan sense, and built to play across generations from twenty-somethings to retirees in organised group outings. Television credits include hosting and gala appearances at Juste pour rire and ComédiHa!, regular spots on Quebec network comedy specials, and a steady presence on the talk-show circuit between tour cycles. The stage style is unaffected, conversational, and structurally tight — long-form storytelling with callbacks and a payoff arc rather than rapid-fire one-liners, delivered without elaborate staging, video or props so the focus stays entirely on the writing and the performance.
