Louis-José Houde : Tu n'es pas spécial

2025 · 81 min

A warm, witty stand-up set that feels like a smart friend riffing on life, aging, and the absurdities of modern manners.

Directed by: Rafaël Ouellet
Genres: Comedy
Starring: Louis-José Houde

Overview: It is a question here of deploying all the humor inherent in the act of having a first child at the age of forty-five... But it is also a question of civic-mindedness, respect for intelligence, weight words, the weight of the self, the triumph of the “I”, then a little bit of Henri Richard and people who say “knock on wood”. A vibrant soliloquy on life and the art of living it.
