It’s been a year, yes, it’s been very tough.
Philippe-Audrey Larrue‑Sainte‑Jacques, who is increasingly making his mark on the Quebec arts scene and whose stand-up career is on the rise, was recently in Paris.
And not with just anyone! The comedian was on the show Sucré givré for a sit-down with host and producer Jean‑Philippe Dion. The encounter offered a closer look at the artist, in a light, collaborative, and revealing setting about his journey.
Besides, the comedian is currently in Paris for a string of performances in France, as noted earlier. It was in that setting that he granted an interview to Jean-Philippe, as part of the Sucré givré program.
Before his show, Dion met with Philippe and delved into his world, discovering an artist who had plenty to say. Usually very private about his personal life, the comedian opened up more than ever, and spoke with great sincerity about a more personal facet of his life, notably mentioning his girlfriend.
Far from the eyes… but love is in the air! 
Indeed, during his Paris engagement, Philippe‑Audrey is far from his girlfriend. She had, however, prepared a beautiful little gift for him: a tiny figure filled with messages he can read each night, a thoughtful gesture that brings him a lot of comfort while they are apart.
But that’s not all. The host also recognized, among the surprises, a drawing that depicts his girlfriend.
“Is that your girlfriend?” J-P asked him.
“It’s important for me to have things from her because she’s the person I miss the most,” Philippe-Audrey Larrue-St-Jacques replied with affection.
“It seems to remind me just how true it is that being a comedian can be a solitary pursuit,” added host Jean-Philippe Dion.
“It’s a year that’s, yes, been very tough, but it has filled me with a lot of things nonetheless, and it will stay with me as a moment I was able to live and do this this year,” Larrue Saint-Jacques confided with pride.
A rare moment of candor from the comedian, which turns out to be a touching dive into his personal world.
We wish Philippe-Audrey Larrue-St-Jacques lots of happiness with his partner, but also many more major moments to come in his career.
