[1][2] He received a degree in psychology from the Université de Sherbrooke and practiced as a psychologist before entering comedy in the late 1970s.

He started working in humor in the late 1970s, first as a scriptwriter for various radio and television programs, and theater, then as a writer for various artists,[1] including humorists Rolland Magdane, Claudine Mercier, Michel Barrette, and singers Gilles Rivard, Lara Fabian, Richard Séguin, and Judi Richards.

He went on stage and did comedy from 1989 to 2000,[1] producing four one-man shows, and participating in the ensemble cast "Les parlementeries" which parodied the proceedings of the National Assembly of Quebec.

Pierre Légaré thus won the Guinness record for the shortest television program in the world.

[1] He is a key figure in humor with several appearances on television in shows such as "Piment fort" with Normand Brathwaite, which are increasing his popularity.

These programs aroused a lot of reactions: the comedian spoke frankly about his experience of the disease and his questions about traditional medicine.
