On one of the most electric nights of the 2016 edition of Just For Laughs Festival, Sugar Sammy capped off his 420-show tour with one last performance of his hit show You're Gonna Rire in front of crowd of 115,000 in Montreal. This is how he marked his 8th presence at the festival. In July 2017, the hometown boy made his triumphant return to the Just For Laughs Festival to host 2 evenings of Sugar Sammy's International Gala. In hosting a Just For Laughs gala, Sugar Sammy joined legends and comedy stars such as Don Rickles, Steve Martin, Tina Fey, Jimmy Fallon, Bill Maher and Bill Burr. Fresh from hosting two critically acclaimed sold-out Galas at the 35th edition of the Montreal International Just For Laughs Comedy Festival, Sugar Sammy went on to host the 17th edition of the Just For Laughs Canadian Comedy Tour annual comedy tour in the autumn of 2017.
