Just For Laughs Heads To Chicago
Montreal’s Just For Laughs is taking its hilarity and hijinks south of the border.
The legendary comedy fest, which just celebrated its 25th anniversary, is teaming up with U.S. cable station TBS to launch a five-day event in Chicago next year, called “Just For Laughs: A Very Funny Festival.”
The festival will include the taping of a TBS stand-up special featuring Ellen DeGeneres and improv from Chicago’s world-famous comedy troupe, The Second City.
On top of its annual cross-country comedy tour, Just For Laughs also launched a smaller festival in Toronto last year.
Details for “Just for Laughs: A Very Funny Festival,” including exact dates and ticket information, will be released this fall.
