• Quote from Mathieu Dufour: “It’s completely surreal that Netflix chose to do this project! It exceeds any expectations I could have had. The capture was confirmed less than a month ago. It’s amazing how the teams have mobilized so that we can all take advantage of this great opportunity together. Already the Bell Center is so big that the arrival of Netflix there is really, really crazy! I don’t understand the scale of all this yet, I think I will when I open Netflix and see my face!

• Quote from Patrick Rozon, Vice President Francophone Content, Just for Laughs TV “Not only are we very pleased to be able to work with Netflix again, we are also delighted to be able to introduce the numerous subscribers to the exceptional artist Mathieu Dufour.
