Edition 2025 — Finished
Edition 2025 — Festival du Rire
34th Festival du Rire - October 16 to 25, 2025
The 34th edition of the Festival du Rire de l'Yssingelais offered a rich and varied program, extending for the first time to Dunières in addition to the usual partner towns. Seven evenings of shows marked these ten days of humor.
Karim Duval opened the festival on October 16 with his show “Entropie,” blending sharp and biting humor. Amy London, a former teacher turned comedian, presented “J'étais pas prête” on October 17, a self-deprecating show about her journey between the national education system and the stage. Julien Santini, a columnist for TF1 and France Inter, presented his self-titled show on October 18, a gallery of characters with absurd and consensual humor.
On Wednesday, October 22, the Théâtre Bazarnaüm delighted young audiences with “Katastroff Orkestar.” On October 23, the play “Amor à Mort”, performed by four actors, offered an evening of sketches and comedy. La Bajon, with her sharp humor on risky subjects, presented “En Rodage” on October 24 to a sold-out house. Finally, Bérengère Krief, nominated for the Molières 2025, closed the festival on October 25 with her show “Sexe,” also sold out.
