What

Just for Laughs (also known in French as Juste pour Rire) Montreal is the world’s largest international comedy festival, welcoming 2 million people each summer.

Founded in 1983 as a French language event in 1985 the festival expanded to English language and today attracts performers from around the world.

Each day, performers, “New Vaudevillians” and other acts both vocal and visual perform throughout the city, particularly in the “Latin Quarter”—an area known for its theatres, cafés and boutique shopping. In the evenings, the nightclubs and live venue theatres offer special programs supporting the performers.

Although Just for Laughs attracts spectators from around the world, many of those in the audience are talent scouts, booking agents, producers and managers from the entertainment industry. Performing at the festival is one of the biggest opportunities for undiscovered talent to showcase their act in front of industry professionals. (Source: Wikipedia)
