Go North, Young Fan: why every comedy fan needs to go to the Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal at least once.
took root in Montreal in 1983, and has run every year since, give or take a pandemic. For much of that time it’s been the biggest and most important festival in all of comedy, bringing the biggest names in the business along with dozens of up-and-comers to the City of Saints every July. The fest is so entrenched in the business that it’s spawned spin-off festivals in Toronto and Vancouver.
Not only do these stars headline their own shows at Montreal’s bigger venues, but they’ll often host one of the Just For Laughs Galas, which are showcases filmed for TV with a half-dozen or so prominent comics doing seven minute sets at Montreal’s gorgeous Place des Arts. Sometimes these big stars will even drop in unannounced at other shows throughout the city.
