After Lise Dion, it’s PA Méthot’s turn to be roasted by his peers on the stage of the Théâtre Capitole de Québec.
While waiting for the first Variety of “Star Académie”, postponed for a second consecutive week due to an outbreak of COVID-19, TVA will open its Sunday evening with the great well-cooked by PA Méthot, recorded as part of the ComédiHa! Fest-Québec and which was initially to be available only on Vrai.
It’s a little velvet for the comedian who did not expect at all to replace the megaproduction “Star Académie”, adding in passing that the fact of receiving a well-cooked made him quite nervous and a little ill at ease. easy.
“Usually, tributes like this are reserved for the great personalities of this world,” he said in an interview with the QMI Agency.

“I was nervous because there was a gang of them in there [dans les humoristes qui lui ont rendu hommage] I’ve known for a long time and I didn’t know what they had against me, like Peter [MacLeod] who had a collection of photos of me sleeping in the tank, but I really wondered how far they were all going to go.”
Billy Tellier’s number was altogether the most striking for PA Méthot. “Billy opened the machine and he picked me up in a ‘tabarouette’. It was funny and it was sickening,” recalled the comedian, also a judge for “The next stand-up”.
“When I saw that they had one of my acts done by Ariel Charest [la reine du “lip-sync” sur TikTok], I was really happy because I really love that girl and I’ve been following her since the start of the pandemic. I was really honored by that. And getting “roasted” by Les Denis Drolet can’t be anything other than funny,” he added.
We were really in the thick laugh and it feels good to have a good big fat laugh. It was “fun”! And at the same time, in this kind of tribute, you have to let go and surrender and tell yourself that these people are there because they love you. Everything was done with love and I’m really happy to have done it,” said PA Méthot.

Toast the surprise
The comedian also admitted to having discovered one of his surprises a few hours before the start of the show. Wanting to go have a cigarette, he came face to face with Paul Daraîhe, when the elevator doors opened. The singer also did not know how to lie to him when he saw him, causing PA to laugh a lot, but he for his part waited until the end of the show before admitting that he had discovered the pot of roses.
Mélanie Ghanimé, Anaïs Favron and Pierre Hébert also took part in the “roast” of PA, who also participated in the great well-cooked of Laurent Paquin, a longtime friend, with whom teasing is numerous.
“When you know Laurent, you can really afford to go far and we were so sick of it in real life. We rekindle each other, but we have so much love for each other. We’ve known each other and worked together for a long time. I opened the machine for Laurent and I knew he would take everything well,” he said.
“Laurent and I have often talked about weight. And it seems that no one dared to talk about it, but I could because I too took it and lost it, ”he shared.
The complete series of “Grands Bien-cuits ComédiHa!” is available on the Vrai platform. PA Méthot’s well-cooked will be broadcast on TVA this Sunday at 7 p.m. At 8:30 p.m., TVA will present the second episode of “La vrai nature”.
