Canadian Comedy Award and East Coast Music Award nominees, Chuck & Albert, are no strangers to the art of total entertainment. Multi-instrumentalists, great physical comics, and fluently bilingual, this Acadian duo has played to standing ovations both at home, across Canada and overseas. Their performances bring to life an energetic blend of visual humor and quick wit combined with the upbeat foot-stomping music and dance of their indigenous PEI Acadian roots.
“One great night of entertainment.” Charles Mandel - The Guardian
Chuck and Albert Arsenault are well known as remarkable showmen and emcees, delivering absolute entertainment in both of Canada’s official languages: French and English – and both of Canada’s un-official languages: comedy and music. As members of the Acadian group Barachois, a mainstay on the Folk/Roots touring circuit for nearly a decade, they developed a distinctive brand of traditional Acadian music and showmanship and performed roughly 2000 shows. Their music was considered to be at the forefront of the genre and was a rhythmic, high-voltage style born in the heart of a culture kept alive through 2 ˝ centuries on PEI.
What the heck do they do?
Much as the elements of Acadian culture have been passed down from generation to generation, Multi-instrumentalists, great physical comics, and fluently bilingual, Chuck & Albert bring to life an energetic blend of visual humor & quick wit combined with the upbeat foot-stomping music & traditional dance of their PEI Acadian roots. the show’s objective is to present Acadian customs and traditions in an entertaining and authentic way. Most of the material Chuck & Albert perform is learned from local singers, fiddlers and historians; as well as original instrumental and vocal compositions in the traditional style. The pair is also quite gifted at drawing on one of the oldest forms of communication, laughter, to hop over any language barrier. It is in this communal spirit that Chuck and Albert skillfully and tastefully carry to the concert stage the vibrant characters, songs and traditions of their Acadian heritage.
Having toured in over 15 countries worldwide Chuck & Albert have seen it, done it, and in a lot of cases, fixed it! Chuck & Albert will gladly work with presenters to meet the language, entertainment, and hosting requirements of your community, festival, school, or event.
From their unique cultural vantage point, these Island Acadian funny-men deliver clean creative, musical, family entertainment. Chuck & Albert believe two things: that every situation, no matter how grim, will be happily resolved; and that Chuck, who is forty years old, will never be able to do his own laundry.
