In [Moncton](/source/Moncton), they perform at local bars and community halls to try and launch their careers and hopefully one day achieve fame and recognition,[3] and perhaps perform at [Just for Laughs](/source/Just_for_Laughs) in [Montreal](/source/Montreal).[1] 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](/source/New_Brunswick))[4] 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.[5] ## Cast Several [Acadian](/source/Acadians) and [Quebecois](/source/Qu%C3%A9b%C3%A9cois_people) actors and actresses had roles in the series.[6] - [Christian Essiambre](/source/Christian_Essiambre) : Christian - [André Roy](/source/Andr%C3%A9_Roy_(acteur)) : André - [Luc LeBlanc](/source/Luc_LeBlanc) : Luc - Raphaëlle Lalande : Amélie - [Catherine Bérubé](/source/Catherine_B%C3%A9rub%C3%A9) : Ann-Julie - [Marc Lamontagne](/source/Marc_Lamontagne) : Lamont - [Roxane Gaudette-Loiseau](/source/Roxane_Gaudette-Loiseau) : Karine - [Ricardo Trogi](/source/Ricardo_Trogi) : Michel Lévesque - Cloé Lévesque : Sophie - Matthieu Girard : Jean-Marc - [Bianca Richard](/source/Bianca_Richard) : Kim - [Karen Elkin](/source/Karen_Elkin) : Valérie Babineau - [Denise Bouchard](/source/Denise_Bouchard) : Marcelle Robichaud - [Ryan Doucette](/source/Ryan_Doucette) : Réjean Picard - [Emmanuel Charest](/source/Emmanuel_Charest) : Jean-Pierre Ducharme - Karène Chiasson : Isabelle - [Raphaël Butler](/source/Rapha%C3%ABl_Butler) : Rick - [Robert Maillet](/source/Robert_Maillet) : Bob - [Philippe Laprise](/source/Philippe_Laprise) : lui-même - [Dominic et Martin](/source/Dominic_et_Martin) : eux-mêmes - [Valérie Blais](/source/Val%C3%A9rie_Blais) : elle-même - [Yves P.
