Sugar Sammy YouTube Canada's Funniest Desi Comedian

Samir Khullar, better known as Sugar Sammy, is an Indo-Canadian comic and writer from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. His unique cultural background is what sets the tone for his brand of unique and off the wall comedy. He is noted for spontaneously improvising with the audience in four languages (English, French, Punjabi and Hindi).

Sugar Sammy Early life

Sammy was born and raised in Montreal, Côte-des-Neiges area, Quebec. As a young and impressionable kid, his comedic inspirations came from watching Eddie Murphy’s "Delirious." He was only 8-years-old when he got his first exposure to Murphy’s racy material. He persuaded his mom to rent "Delirious," one of Murphy’s stand-up comedy specials from an Indian movie store.[3] Sammy credits Eddie Murphy’s 1983 comedy special as being a defining moment in his life. From then on, he knew what he wanted to do.
