Alexandre Bisaillon: Work-in-Progress Stand-Up Show is a stand-up evening in Montreal, Canada, held at Le Bordel 2. It is the kind of night where a comedian brings unfinished material on stage to see how it lands, so the set is still taking shape while you watch.
What to expect
Work-in-progress shows are informal by nature. Bisaillon tests fresh jokes and ideas in front of a live audience, which means the evening has a looser, more exploratory feel than a polished headline set. For visitors who enjoy watching comedy being built, that is the appeal.
The performer has a track record behind him. He won the Le Prochain Stand-up competition and has appeared at the Just for Laughs and ComediHa galas, both of which are closely associated with Quebec and Canadian comedy.
The venue and the city
Le Bordel 2 is the venue for the show. Montreal is a good city to combine with an evening out, with a strong French-speaking comedy scene, and the performance itself is a useful way to hear Quebec stand-up up close.
