Meuse du Rire: Étain's Humor Festival
The Meuse du Rire Festival was born in 2025 with the ambition to make Étain a must-visit destination for humor in the Grand Est region. Under the exceptional sponsorship of Michaël Gregorio, a famous impressionist and comedian who grew up in Étain, the festival offers a weekend of laughter and good cheer in the heart of the Meuse.
An Iconic Sponsor
Michaël Gregorio spent his teenage years in Étain, giving a particularly personal dimension to his sponsorship of this festival. The artist, known for his stunning impersonations and sold-out shows, brings his fame and energy to this nascent event, helping to make it known far beyond the borders of the Meuse.
A Quality Program
Over a weekend, the festival brings together several comedians with varied styles:
- Éric Massot & Manu Joucla – Partent en live !: an explosive duo combining sketches, improvisations, and audience interaction.
- Lisa Perrio – C'est compliqué, je t'expliquerai !: a sparkling and quirky one-woman show.
- Tristan Lucas – Français content !: incisive and joyful stand-up.
The festival format allows you to string together shows or choose your favorite evenings with an advantageous three-show pass.
