Arnaud Soly, Josiane Aubuchon, Simen Kara, Micheline Marchildon and Neev. These are just a few of the talented comedians who are entertaining and inspiring us this month on the Just for Laughs tour.

This year’s tour started last week in Halifax with well-known Acadian humourist Luc Leblanc, Cape Breton Anglophone Hughie Batherson, stand-up artist Arnaud Soly, and, of course, the RVF’s talented 2022 co-spokesperson, Neev. 

The March 12th show happens on the other coast, at Vancouver’s Norman-Rothstein Theatre. Show two includes Quebec author and humourist André Sauvé, master of many stages Josianne Aubuchon, Vancouver’s own Joey Lésperance, comedian and actor Alphé Gagné, Neev, and more. 

The following week, on March 19th, the Centre culturel franco-manitobain will host the third gala, with André Sauvé, Neev, Quebec’s Sinem Kara, and hometown hero Micheline Marchildon. 

The tour ends on March 26th in Cornwall, Ontario at the Aultsville Theatre, where Neev and André Sauvé will be joined by Franco-Ontarian improv artist Jonathan Dion, Ottawa’s Rosalie Lacroix, and Félix Gravelle, who lives in Montreal. 

Some of the galas are also available online, check the RVF’s website for details.
