Se guérir | Jérémy Demay | TEDxHECMontréal

Before becoming a successful and renowned comedian in Quebec, Jérémy Demay went through a difficult period when he first arrived in Montreal. In this talk, Jérémy shares the tools that helped him overcome his depression and explains why he believes it's important to heal. Originally from France, Jérémy decided to settle in Montreal in 2005, where he was captivated by Quebec humor. The stage beckoned, and audiences noticed his undeniable joy in performing. In 2008, he was invited to participate in the Grand Rire de Québec (Quebec City Comedy Festival), where his act earned him the Revelation of the Year award. In November 2015, Jérémy published his first book, "La Liste" (The List), which highlights his journey and the lessons he learned to live life to the fullest. It quickly became a bestseller, selling over 50,000 copies in Quebec. 2017 is shaping up to be a busy year for Jérémy Demay! After the runaway success of his first one-man show, Jérémy is putting the finishing touches on his second solo show, Vivant (Alive). Addressing both the positive and difficult moments of our daily lives, this show promises to be a true ode to life!
