The beginning of Mathieu’s life is filled with fascinating events that unfortunately have no impact whatsoever on the quality of his work, so they will not be mentioned here. After twenty-three eventful years, Mathieu graduated in theatre from the Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe, but quickly traded the mask and tights for writing and directing.

He has published novels with Éditions de Ta Mère, including Ceci n’est pas une histoire de dragons, which was shortlisted for the Prix des Libraires, as well as Les Cicatrisés de Saint-Sauvignac, a work he directed and co-signed with three renowned authors, later republished in France—the country where Molière once lived, among others.

As a director, he has worked on En tout cas, a funny series, on Alertes, a not-so-funny series, and on Mouvement Deluxe, a strange series featuring puppets. In doing so, he has collected many small Gémeaux and Olivier plaques, a few statues as well, and has taken full advantage of the open bar at each event to offset the exorbitant cost of admission.

He is currently developing several television projects and working on writing his biography for his agency’s website.
