PATRICK GROULX TROP LONGTEMPS SEUL

Patrick Groulx is finally back on stage with his fifth one-man show, Trop longtemps seul. In a show that is entirely his own, he returns to a style of humour that sometimes recalls the offbeat, uninhibited spirit of Groulx luxe. As candid and irreverent as ever, Patrick now embraces getting older, having never felt as good, as young or as free as he does in his fifties. Trop longtemps seul connects with every generation, bringing audiences to tears of laughter and occasionally making them think, all with Pat Groulx’s uniquely youthful spirit. For his fifth show, he brings together several comic facets of his previous performances to offer audiences pure, unfiltered Groulx. It’s as much fun to see alone as with friends! You might even run into Curé Poirier and the Brigadier. “One day, my team told me: Pat, you spend too much time alone… Apparently, it was showing in my writing! I burst out laughing because they were right. I’m 51, my girlfriend is in the Outaouais and my kids have their own lives now. For the first time in a long while, I’m rediscovering a certain freedom and spending more time alone. It’s led me to reflect, observe and philosophize about all sorts of silly, useless—but incredibly inspiring—things. In short, all of that gave birth to this new show, which I’m very excited to share with you.” — Patrick Groulx
