Irresistibly endearing and hilarious, comedian P-A Méthot is a master storyteller! Having sold over 300,000 tickets for his first one-man show, Plus gros que nature, this comedy powerhouse has a unique style, skillfully blending stand-up and improvisation. In winter 2019, he toured Quebec with his second one-man show, Faire le beau, which immediately won over both critics and audiences. He then joined Noovo as a judge on Le prochain Stand-Up and also hosted Le prochain Stand-Up – Classe de maître on Z. With his animated expressions and magnetic charm, P-A Méthot continues to win hearts wherever he goes!
Originally from Gaspésie, P-A Méthot is a true ball of energy. He began his career in the early 2000s, performing at comedy nights, private events, and quickly making his way to the biggest festivals and galas, such as the Just For Laughs Festival and the Festival Grand Rire de Québec (now ComédiHa!). In no time, P-A Méthot built an impressive resume. In fact, he won the Nez d’or Révélation award at the Festival Grand Rire de Québec in 2007. Then, in 2010 and 2013, he was nominated in the “Breakthrough Artist” category at the Gala les Olivier.
Starting in summer 2011, P-A Méthot introduced his talent to the entire province, touring Quebec as the opening act for Peter MacLeod’s Sagesse reportée tour. In 2011 and 2012, he also occasionally opened for Jean-Michel Anctil’s Tel Quelshow. Both renowned comedians were so impressed by P-A’s personality and humor that he quickly became their protégé.
P-A Méthot took part in Événement Avenir-Lac Mégantic at the Bell Centre in support of the town of Lac-Mégantic. His now-famous “parachute” sketch earned him an instant standing ovation from an audience of 10,000!
In fall 2013, P-A launched his first full-length solo show, Plus gros que nature. Audiences across Quebec discovered an authentic, moving, and wildly funny P-A, with a storytelling style that made everyone feel seen. The show was a hit with both fans and critics, earning him six nominations at Gala les Olivier including Comedy Show of the Year (2014), Comedian of the Year (2014, 2016), and Best-Selling Comedy Show (2015, 2016, 2017), as well as a nod at the 2014 ADISQ Gala. He wrapped up this incredible tour in November 2017, with 495 performances and over 300,000 tickets sold—a phenomenal achievement for a debut show!
From 2014 to 2016, P-A co-hosted Direct dans l’net on Z alongside Dominic Paquet and Mélanie Ghaminé, hilariously reviewing the best (and worst) internet videos.
In 2015, P-A created Le Party 80 – Back to the Coiffure, a high-energy ‘80s-themed event featuring music and comedy, presented at both the Bell Centre and Centre Vidéotron. Over 15,000 attendees enjoyed a night of nostalgia, and the show later aired on TVA to over a million viewers.
In the same year, he also released his biography, Faire l’humour avec P-A Méthot, offering a behind-the-scenes look at his career and life, filled with stories and testimonials from those closest to him.
He went on to host several ComediHa! Galas (2015, 2016, 2017), earning great reviews for his original and hilarious segments.
In 2017, he launched Party Country – Il était une fois au Centre Bell, a themed event blending top comedians with country music stars, drawing 7,000 attendees and airing on TVA in early 2017.
May 5, 2018 – Party 90 at Centre Vidéotron, celebrating the ‘90s with a star-studded lineup including Jean-Michel Anctil, Rachid Badouri, Dominic Paquet, Patrick Groulx, Dubmatique, and Noir Silence.
October 13, 2019 – A disco-themed blowout at the Bell Centre, full of flair, big hair, dance hits, and comedy—celebrating the glitz and groove of the 1970s.
In winter 2019, P-A launched Faire le beau, poking fun at our modern obsession with social media perfection. The show premiered in Montreal on January 29, 2019, to rave reviews and received a nomination for Comedy Show of the Year at the 2019 ADISQ Gala.
From 2020 onward, P-A took on a more prominent television role as a judge on Le prochain Stand-Up on Noovo, later hosting Classe de maître on Z.
During the same period, he also fulfilled a longtime dream—writing children’s books! Alongside Marie-Christine Leblanc, he co-authored the Sainte-Sirène-du-bout du monde series (volumes 1, 2, and 3), available in bookstores everywhere.
Since 2021, fans in the Quebec City region have been able to see P-A live every week as he hosts the Mercredis ComediHa! Club, featuring a rotating lineup of guest comedians.
