About François Pérusse
Francois Perusse (born October 8, 1960) is a Quebecois comedian and musician famous for his radio sketches featuring puns and absurd humour. His best-known sketches are from the series Les 2 minutes du peuple. He was born to Charlotte and Adelard Perusse. At 12 he made his debut in local radio, and by age 17 he was playing as a bassist in bands with his older brother Marc.
Les 2 minutes du peuple first aired in August 1990 on CKOI-FM as part of the program Y'e trop d'bonne heure. After a little over a year, a compilation of his best sketches and songs was released, L'Album du peuple - Tome 1, which has sold more than 80,000 copies. Perusse released nine more Albums du peuple in the main series, plus two albums in France and a spinoff titled L'Album pirate. Les 2 minutes du peuple made its debut in France in autumn 1995 on Europe 2 radio, with Perusse changing his accent and vocabulary to imitate European French. He moved into television on February 8, 1999 with Le JourNul de Francois Perusse, a satirical news program.
A great Beatles fan, he was hired by the Cirque du Soleil to work on the show The Beatles: LOVE in Las Vegas. He received three Ruban d'or from the Canadian Association of Broadcasters in the humour category. In 2022, he had his first significant film role in his entire career, playing Alain Lamothe in the film Niagara.
