The Beaune humor festival at La Lanterne Magique
The Beaune Humour Festival is an annual humor event created in 2023 at La Lanterne Magique in Beaune. Every March, two evenings feature national headliners and opening acts from the Comedy Trip, making Beaune a major hub for laughter in Burgundy.
Created in 2023, the Beaune Humour Festival is an ambitious cultural event that has quickly established itself in the French comedy scene. Organized annually in March at the Lanterne Magique, Beaune's performance venue, this festival offers two evenings of humor with national headliners and promising opening acts. The stated goal from its inception was to make Beaune a major center for humor in France.
The festival stands out with a lineup that combines established artists and emerging talents. Each evening features a headliner preceded by an opening act from the Comedy Trip, a network of open mic nights and showcases for young comedians. In 2025, Nadia Roz presented her show La Fille du 7e with Mélodie Fontaine and François Guédon as opening acts, while Marcus delivered Super Sympa with David Azencot from the Comedy Trip opening.
The Lanterne Magique is the performance venue in the city of Beaune, located in the heart of the town. Its warm atmosphere and intimate capacity make it an ideal place for comedy shows, fostering proximity between artists and the audience. The festival benefits from the support of the city of Beaune and is part of the Lanterne Magique's cultural programming, which hosts shows, concerts, and events throughout the year.
In just four editions, the Beaune Humour Festival has carved out a prime spot in the French comedy landscape. The 2026 edition features Sophia Aram, a columnist for France Inter, and Mayel El Hajaoui, known for his role as Georges in the TF1 series Demain nous appartient, with opening acts by Victor Parnaso and Thiébaud Derozier, two comedians from Burgundy. The festival is now playing "with the big leagues" of national comedy.
