La Route du Rire
Stand-up Festival from Saint-Malo to Rennes
About La Route du Rire
La Route du Rire
La Route du Rire is a stand-up festival that takes place between Saint-Malo and Rennes, in Ille-et-Vilaine (Brittany). Launched in 2019 by the Barocks association, the event has established itself as a regional hub for "stand-up piracy": a talent scout that guides its comedians towards comedic excellence.
A factory for comedians
Beyond public evenings, the festival runs a collective that trains its members in the art of stand-up. Each edition mixes established headliners and young emerging comedians, notably through a springboard open to new talents.
Two collections per year
La Route du Rire comes in a summer collection (early September) and a winter collection, with evenings spread between Rennes and Saint-Malo: galas, comedian showcases, and open mic nights.
Information and program
The detailed program, ticketing, and the springboard competition are published on the official website laroutedurire.fr and on the festival's social media channels.
