Dominique Michel, a true icon of the Quebec cultural landscape, has left his mark on several generations with his immense talent and exceptional career. We learn that she will be making a big return to TV soon!
Comedian, singer and actress, Dominique Michel began as a singer in Montreal cabarets before turning to comedy, where she found her true vocation. She became famous thanks to her work with Denise Filiatrault, forming a legendary comedy duo that enchanted Quebecers for decades. His roles in cult shows like Me and the other and the Bye Bye have left an indelible mark on popular culture.
Over the years, Dominique Michel has reinvented himself, moving from laughter to more dramatic roles, while remaining close to the public. In 2010, she publicly faced colon cancer, courageously sharing her experience and inspiring thousands.
Retired from the stage for several years, she remains a loved and respected figure, both for her artistic journey and for her resilience. With his unique humor and authenticity, Dominique Michel embodies a true living legend of Quebec culture.
Very recently, Stéphane Laporte, known as an author, designer and director, revealed excellent news for Dominique Michel admirers.
He announced that he will be at the helm of a special holiday show broadcast on ICI - Première. For him, it was essential to include Dominique Michel in this project, emphasizing how significant his presence is.
If Bye Bye exists, it’s thanks to her. It was she who made it an undeniable success. For 30 years, she made the whole country laugh, imitating Michel Chartrand, Diane Dufresne, Nadia Comaneci, René Lévesque, Michèle Richard and Sonia Benezra. It is because of her that all the families in our area, at the same time, have instituted, in their New Year’s Eve party, the listening of Bye Bye. I was 8 years old, I looked at her, my eyes wide. I, who loved writing jokes, dreamed of one day doing a Bye Bye with her. Like a guy dreamed of playing with Guy Lafleur. My dream came true. Better than that, doing 4 Bye Bye with Dominique Michel was much more beautiful than my dream. I had the chance to know an exceptional human being. A heart as big as his talent. A friend for life. – Stéphane Laporte
This special show with Dominique Michel will be on the air on Saturday, December 28 at 5 p.m.
