Festival d'Humour de Colmar

The temple of laughter in Alsace

Since its creation in 2013 by Alsatian comedian Jean-Michel Arrus, the Festival d'Humour de Colmar has established itself as the major comedy event in the Haut-Rhin and all of Alsace. Every year, at the end of November, the Parc des Expositions et des Congrès de Colmar transforms into a temple of laughter, hosting the biggest names in the French-speaking comedy scene for a week of shows, discoveries, and good cheer.

An eclectic and demanding program

The festival is distinguished by the diversity of its programming, which mixes confirmed headliners and emerging talents. Among the artists who have graced the Colmar stage are Paul Mirabel, Marie s'Infiltre, D'jal, Olivier de Benoist, Verino, Jeanfi Janssens, Thomas Marty, and Guihome. The festival also offers original formats such as the Mondial d'Impro, highly anticipated by families and groups of friends, carte blanches for comedians accompanied by Alsatian stand-up talents, and musical comedy with artists like Les Wriggles.

An event rooted in the territory

The Festival d'Humour de Colmar benefits from the infrastructure of the Parc Expo de Colmar, managed by SA Colmar Expo, which offers optimal reception conditions: modular rooms, access adapted for people with reduced mobility, and reserved seating. The festival makes it a point of honor to make laughter accessible to as many people as possible, with attractive prices and discounts for subscribers. Each edition attracts more than 7,000 spectators, confirming the insatiable appetite of the Alsatian public for humor in all its forms.

The superpowers of laughter

For its 14th edition in 2026, the festival explores the theme of the "superpowers of laughter" with a program that promises unforgettable moments. From Tuesday to Sunday, six evenings of shows follow one another with artists such as Thomas Marty, Marine Leonardi, Jeanfi Janssens, Verino, Guihome, and the duo Giroud & Stotz, not to mention the now traditional Mondial d'Impro which celebrates its 7th edition.
