Just for Laughs returns from the dead with a money-back guarantee | The Corner Booth

Mommy, it’s not over: Just for Laughs is back from the dead.It was a tumultuous 2024 for the city’s premier comedy fest. In March of that year, the fest was abruptly and shockingly cancelled and the old ownership group sought protection from its creditors. Later, it was saved by Quebec City’s ComediHa!, who delivered a small but mighty version of the fest to laugh-starved Montrealers. A year later, Just for Laughs’ owner Sylvain Parent-Bédard and program director Nick Brazao, who joined hosts Bill Brownstein and Aaron Rand on this week’s episode of The Corner Booth at Snowdon Deli, are bringing a star-studded lineup to Montreal this July 16-27.
