| - I have been attending the Just for Laughs festival since moving to Montreal and hopefully, will continue to do so. I love this festival, I didn't even know such existed (we are much more serious in the UK :))
We usually try to catch some of the comedy shows in English (which are limited). Last year we saw Sugar Sammy (in 'franglais') which was amazing and this year we went to the Russell Peters and 80s-90s hip hop live. It was absolutely amazing, the place was buzzing and the atmosphere was crazy! It was the last show of the night (9pm) but the amazing hip hop artists were going on until 11.30pm, the crowd were having a brilliant time. We were lucky to get VIP seats too, which was a real treat!
Walking around, you get to see so many random street performers/improvs and characters that are confusing and funny at the same time. This year, I particularly liked the bobble heads / the group with the exact same mask that were doing sketches mimicking tedious daily life,
There is also a variety of choice when it comes to food vendors. Sweet or savoury, there is something for everyone! I had the Belgian waffle this time - highly recommend, amazing!
Great festival, extremely well organised and there is something for every age! A must!
