Standup comedian and singer Patrick Sébastien parlayed his uncommon skills as an impressionist and physical comedian to emerge as one of the most popular French entertainers of his generation. Born Patrick Boutot in Corrèze, he was still in his teens when he fathered his first son, Sébastien, whose name he later assumed as his professional surname. Upon relocating to Paris in 1970, he launched his career in local nightclubs and cabarets. Sébastien went on to host his own popular television specials and spent the years to follow as an institution of French comedy, headlining numerous live performances, cutting a series of LPs, and making countless television appearances. ~ Jason Ankeny
