Les Newbies was a Canadian comedy television series that broadcast from 16 January 2019 to 10 June 2020 on Unis TV.. The series, which followed the fictional life of three Acadian comedians, was also available on TV5 Monde and ICI TOU.TV.
Synopsis André, Luc et Christian are three friends who dream of becoming famous with their comedy group, Les Newbies (The Newbies or Beginners). In Moncton, they perform at local bars and community halls to try and launch their careers and hopefully one day achieve fame and recognition, and perhaps perform at Just for Laughs in Montreal. Their path to stardom is not as easy as they believe and through pitfalls, conflicts and disappointments, the Newbies (also a nickname for people from New Brunswick) may find that they may not be the success they thought they would be. Perhaps there is more balance to be found in their lives.
