His second main role was in 2006 when he played a detective in the series ''Un homme mort'' in 2006. In addition to his movie and television acting career, Barrette was one of the most notable stand-up comedians in Quebec since 1983 and performed several one-man comedy shows province-wide, including ''En spectacle avec Michel Barrette'' in 1989, ''100% Barrette'' in 1997, ''Quelques exces'' in 2000, ''20 ans deja, je me souviens'' in 2004 and ''Michel Barrette, 100% neuf'' in 2006. He was also part of a major show in aid for victims of the 1996 Saguenay Flood. He was a regular guest on Normand Brathwaite's defunct-satirical television show ''Piment Fort'' during the 1990s. His first famous role was his stand-up character named ''Roland "Hi-Ha" Tremblay'', which became a hit around 1988, and was the basis for Serge Gaboury's comic strip of the same name, and also started the career of comic/actor Vincent Bolduc, who became famous by playing the same routine at age 9 or 10. He also previously hosted along with Jean-Marc Parent ''Casse-Tête'', a Télé-Metropole show for the 1987 and 1988 seasons while he also hosted TVA show Planete en folie in 1998. He also hosted several radio shows including morning shows on Montreal radio stations CKOI, CKMF and more recently CHMP-FM. In 2005, he traded one snow-mobile to Kyle MacDonald of the book ''One Red Paperclip'' for a "party in a keg" invention (a beer keg and a neon sign). The trade was a part of multiple consecutive bartering deals that allowed MacDonald to trade in a red paperclip for a house. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michel Barrette」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
