D. in&nbsp;1998. For eight years,&nbsp;Boucar&nbsp;was a lecturer in biology at&nbsp;the UQAR.&nbsp;His&nbsp;students,&nbsp;who recognised his comedic talent,&nbsp;encouraged him to sign up for Juste&nbsp;pour&nbsp;rire.&nbsp;He was selected as discovery of the year in 2005&nbsp;at&nbsp;the Festival&nbsp;Grand&nbsp;Rire&nbsp;de&nbsp;Qu\u00e9bec,&nbsp;and he was awarded the Jacques Couture&nbsp;prize in 2006,&nbsp;presented by the Quebec Minister of Immigration&nbsp;and Cultural Communities&nbsp;in recognition of his contribution toward promoting intercultural relations.&nbsp;In&nbsp;2004,&nbsp;Boucar&nbsp;Diouf&nbsp;played a major role (the character&nbsp;Momar)&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;film&nbsp;Le&nbsp;bonheur&nbsp;c&#8217;est&nbsp;une&nbsp;chanson&nbsp;triste&nbsp;by&nbsp;Fran\u00e7ois&nbsp;Delisle.&nbsp;In&nbsp;2005,&nbsp;to his list of accomplishments as an actor,&nbsp;comedian and storyteller,&nbsp;he added the role of science chronicler for the program Des&nbsp;kiwis&nbsp;et&nbsp;des&nbsp;hommes,&nbsp;on Radio-Canada television network, which he has co-hosted since&nbsp;2007&nbsp;in collaboration with Francis&nbsp;Reddy. Since then, Boucar has become one of the most beloved stand-up comedian in Quebec and French-speaking Canada. In Vancouver in 2014, he will present his brand new show, &#8220;Pour une raison X ou Y&#8221;, where he strays from his most familiar themes of immigration in Canada, and picks up on his role as a university professor. The stage is transformed into a classroom where Boucar entertains us with the &#8220;scientific&#8221; explanations behind the differences in the way men and women think and behave.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boucar Diouf (Qu\u00e9bec)&nbsp; &nbsp; Thursday, February 20th &#8211; 7 p.m. Jules-Verne School Auditorium &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Boucar&nbsp;Diouf&nbsp;hails from Senegal,&nbsp;and has lived in Quebec&nbsp;since&nbsp;1991.&nbsp;Before immigrating to Canada,&nbsp;Boucar&nbsp;had done a Masters degree and Advanced Study diploma in the Faculty of Science and Technology at the University of Dakar.&nbsp;He received a scholarship to pursue a doctorate in oceanography&nbsp;at &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.sd41.bc.ca\/moscrop-french\/2014\/10\/29\/comedie\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Com\u00e9die&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2191,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[42,26,1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sd41.bc.ca\/moscrop-french\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/693"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sd41.bc.ca\/moscrop-french\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sd41.bc.ca\/moscrop-french\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sd41.bc.ca\/moscrop-french\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2191"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sd41.bc.ca\/moscrop-french\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=693"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sd41.bc.ca\/moscrop-french\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/693\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":706,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sd41.bc.ca\/moscrop-french\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/693\/revisions\/706"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sd41.bc.ca\/moscrop-french\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sd41.bc.ca\/moscrop-french\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=693"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sd41.bc.ca\/moscrop-french\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
