Comedians born in Sherbrooke

Sherbrooke is the largest city in Quebec's Eastern Townships, set where the Magog River tumbles into the Saint-François amid rolling hills near the United States border. A university city with a strong French-speaking character, it serves as the economic and cultural capital of the Estrie region, and its river gorges and hydroelectric heritage shaped the way it grew.

Quebec's French-language comedy tradition keeps its theatres and cultural venues booking touring stand-up and cabaret performers. Pierre Légaré was born here.
