Montreal, Quebec, has so much to offer: architecture, great food, fashion, museums, the F1 Canadian Grand Prix, and so much more. Every year, Montreal hosts world-renowned festivals: among them, the Just for laughs festival.
For three weeks every July, downtown Montreal becomes the place to see some of the best comedians in the world. Some are well-known, others are on their way to becoming the next “big” thing. Over the years, some of the biggest names have taken part in the Just for Laughs such as Denis Leary, Dave Chappelle, and Jon Stewart. Craig Ferguson, host of CBS’s The Late Late Show, became an international star following his appearance at the JFL in 1987. This past July, he came back to host two shows featuring international comedians looking to become big stars in North America.
In addition to indoor shows, there are a multitude of free outdoor events at Place des festivals. You can see skits, clowns, jugglers, magicians, and so much more. There is something for everyone and you’ll have a great time for sure.
In 2012, the Montreal Just for laughs will celebrate its 30th anniversary. Victor, the Festival’s mascot, invites you to join in this spectacular, highly entertaining and so much fun celebration of laughter!
