The Just for Laughs Festival is celebrating its 40th birthday this summer. To mark the occasion, the organizers have concocted several special events, including this musical and dancing tribute to the outstanding Just for Laughs productions of the past four decades. Directed by Alex Perron, this show which combines dance, singing, circus and (of course) humor is offered for 10 consecutive days. Notice to those who wish to attend more than one performance: you will find your account there since a different comedian will participate each evening.
Every evening at 9 p.m., Place Loto-Québec on the Esplanade (until July 30)

For the occasion, the one we see everywhere, including in TV commercials for Marie-Élaine Thibert’s new album, will be accompanied by the Forestare guitar orchestra. He will be supported by comedian Yannick de Martino.
