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, exuberant spirit of his Groulx luxe days. As candid and irreverent as ever, Patrick now embraces growing older, having never felt as good, as young or as free as he does in his fifties. Trop longtemps seul connects with every generation, brings audiences to tears of laughter, offers occasional moments of reflection and retains 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. A show that is just 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 children 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 has led me to reflect, observe and philosophize about all sorts of silly, pointless, yet wonderfully inspiring things. In short, all of this gave rise to this new show, which I’m very excited to share with you.” — Patrick Groulx
