Music like François Pérusse

François Pérusse (born October 8, 1960, in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada) is a Québécois comedian and musician famous for his radio sketches featuring puns and absurd humour. His best-known sketches are from the series Les 2 minutes du peuple (The Peoples' 2 Minutes).

Pérusse was born to Charlotte and Adélard Pérusse. At 12 he made his debut in local radio, and by age 17 he was playing as a bassist in bands with his older brother Marc.

"Les 2 minutes du peuple" first aired in August 1990 on CKOI-FM as part of the program "Y'é trop d'bonne heure" (It's Too Early): his sketches and songs became instantly well known throughout Quebec. After a little over a year, a compilation of his best sketches and songs was released: L'Album du peuple – Tome 1 (The Album of the People – Volume 1), which has sold more than 80,000 copies.
