André-Philippe Gagnon

An impressionist with an eye on the world, André-Philippe Gagnon can slip from Joe Cocker's husky croon to Dionne Warwick quicker than most performers can take a curtain call! From Mick Jagger to Vanessa Paradis, Louis Armstrong, Jean Chrétien, and Fred Flintstone. Gagnon's impressions of famous personalities are rapid-fire magic. With an engaging blend of comedy and music, his take on the "who's who" of the world is funny and full of delicious detail. But between the jokes, his amazing voice actually delivers the essence of some of the world's greatest singers.

UPDATE: On April 2, 2012 Canadian Special Events awarded André-Philippe Gagnon 2012 Entertainer of the Year!

André-Philippe Gagnon was just a young hopeful when he did his very first impressions ... five years young! From Mick Jagger to Bob Dylan, The Bee Gees to Frank Sinatra to Josh Groban, Tracy Chapman, Louis Armstrong, James Brown, The Rat Pack and Elton John - the impressions bear uncanny resemblances to the originals!

One of his biggest breaks came in 1985 when he appeared at the world-renowned comedy festival Just For Laughs in Montreal. After that show, he was invited to appear on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, where he performed a "signature" song, his version of the famine-relief anthem "We Are The World", impersonating every singer from the original the song - eighteen famous voices in one composition. The world discovered him, and he discovered the world - performing in Los Angeles, Paris, Switzerland and beyond.

André-Philippe Gagnon toured with international singing star Celine Dion, entertaining millions of fans from Australia to Europe and throughout the United States. His performances at the Stade de France in Paris proved once again Andre-Philippe's unique charisma and talent, with 90,000 people giving him a standing ovation each night.

His current presentation is his most personal show ever - a combination of technology and creativity and, which combines music, comedy, multimedia interaction - and showcases some of the finest moments in musical history of the last sixty years.

André-Philippe Gagnon has thrilled audiences in over 11 countries, in two languages, performing more than 3,500 shows, in front of over 5 million people.

Whether it be the St-Denis Theatre in Montreal or the Venetian in Las Vegas, the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto or the Casino de Paris in Paris France, audiences emerge from his show utterly amazed.
