Lise Dion Comedy

I first saw Lise Dion perform over 10 years ago on a New Years Eve TV special.  I remember how much I laughed that night.  Although I am perfectly bilingual, it is sometimes hard for me to follow certain french accents, her show was easy to understand, a great french comedy. 

After 6 years, she is back with her new show ``Le Temps Qui Court``.  With subjects ranging from menopause, weight issues, Viagra adventures, it is one laugh after another. I was surprised that while doing her ``Pop Academie`` skit, she proved to have a very nice voice. A little bit ironic that she did a comedic interpretation of a Ginette Reno song.  I find such a resemblance between the two artists,  both have such sincere attitudes, both real and honest.  One of my favorite skits is called the ``L'incontournable Burka``(view below).  She did bring a new rendition to the skit but I have to be honest, I still prefer the original. 

All in all, it was great having her back on stage.  It`s not easy doing a 2 hour one woman show. She`s still as funny and witty as ever and with her boundless energy and charisma, the show is bound to get rave reviews.

I had never been to the new District Dix/30 theatre, L`Etoile (click the name to preview), it is absolutely stunning.  If ever you are in the neighborhood, the restaurant``Rouge`` (click to preview) is a great choice for Thai food.  Thanks again to Micheline for joining me for a night out of laughter and great food.
