Festival des Bulles du Rire
The biggest comedy festival in Champagne-Ardenne
About Les Bulles du Rire
A must-see comedy festival in Champagne-Ardenne
Created by producer David Hardit, the Festival des Bulles du Rire has become in a few years one of the major comedy events in France. Every early year, from January to March, the festival unfolds an ambitious program in several cities in the Grand Est region, making Saint-Dizier one of its main stops thanks to the Les Fuseaux venue.
A prestigious and eclectic program
The festival stands out for the quality and diversity of its programming. Each edition brings together about fifty shows covering all registers of contemporary comedy:
- One-man shows and one-woman shows led by the headliners of the French comedy scene
- Stand-up with emerging talents and confirmed figures of the genre
- Comedy shows mixing sketches, improvisation, and stage performances
- Discovery nights dedicated to young comedy talents
Renowned artists
Over the years, the biggest names in French comedy have graced the festival stages: Franck Dubosc, Jérémy Ferrari, Élodie Poux, Ahmed Sylla, Anne Roumanoff, Claudia Tagbo, Alban Ivanov, Malik Bentalha, Nora Hamzawi, Olivier de Benoist, Chantal Ladesou, Booder, Kev Adams, Patrick Sébastien, Jean-Marie Bigard, Fabrice Éboué, and many others.
A touring festival rooted in the region
The unique feature of Bulles du Rire is its touring format. The festival radiates throughout Champagne-Ardenne by taking over performance venues in several cities:
- Les Fuseaux in Saint-Dizier (Haute-Marne)
- Le K (Kabaret) in Tinqueux-Reims (Marne)
- Le Capitole in Châlons-en-Champagne (Marne)
- Le Parc des Expositions in Charleville-Mézières (Ardennes)
- Performance venues in Troyes, Sedan, Bar-sur-Aube, and Rethel
This territorial network allows a large audience to enjoy quality comedy shows without having to travel to major cities.
The spirit of Bulles du Rire
More than just a festival, Les Bulles du Rire embodies a philosophy: making laughter accessible to everyone. David Hardit, a comedy enthusiast and committed producer, selects artists each year who can reach a diverse audience, from fans of sharp stand-up to families looking for convivial evenings. The warm atmosphere of the partner venues and the proximity to the artists make each performance a unique moment of sharing and good humor.
