Just for Laughs Festival

What celebrates its 36th anniversary this summer and draws more than 2 million people to Montréal? Just for Laughs fits that bill. The world-famous festival presents a who’s who of comedy over nearly three weeks of shows. The lineup includes hilarious heavy hitters such as Will Forte and Tiffany Haddish hosting prestigious galas at the Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier at Place des Arts. Superstars such as David Cross and Tig Notaro (pictured) dole out gut-busting solo performances from various stages. In club series the Ethnic Show and the Nasty Show, diverse and boundary-pushing comics have audience members in stitches. Be prepared to laugh ’til you cry.
