About Yvon Deschamps

Yvon Deschamps is a Quebec author, actor, comedian and producer best known for his monologues. His social-commentary-tinged humour propelled him to prominence in Quebec popular culture in the 1970s and 1980s. A long time comedian and still active, Deschamps is now perceived the greatest in Quebec history. Inspired by Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant, Deschamps made his first real monologue part of the review when Robert Charlebois did not want to learn his lines for the dialogue (he decided to strum the guitar instead). He left school in 1951, after Grade 11, and in 1953 found work in the record library at Radio-Canada's new television service. In 1965 he played his first film role in Jean-Claude Lord's Deliver Us from Evil (Délivrez-nous du mal), although the film was not released theatrically until 1969.
