The film's cast also includes Michel Courtemanche, France Castel, Anne Casabonne and Luc Senay.

The film was conceived in 2020, after Corbeil and Maranda's real comedy tour was halted by the pandemic shutdowns, and was shot in the summer of 2020.[3] The duo have described the film as inspired by the popularity of sketch comedy films in their childhoods, particularly those of Monty Python.[2]

Following the reopening of public spaces in 2021, the film premiered theatrically on June 18, 2021.[1] Some physical screenings were also presented as "double features", in which the screening was preceded or followed by Corbeil and Maranda performing a live stage show.[4]
