Bienveillant

With the news full of explosive topics, strong opinions and homegrown contradictions, comedian Guy Nantel returns with a brand-new show bearing an intriguing title: Bienveillant. Meaning “benevolent,” it is hardly the first word associated with a comedian known for his frankness, critical eye and uncompromising sociopolitical humour. With biting insight and well-placed irony, Nantel takes aim at our collective shortcomings, inconsistencies and the major debates of our time. In his seventh show, he continues to surprise, disarm and, above all, make audiences laugh out loud. But how does he manage to do it with benevolence?
