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.
La Halle d'Étain: A Friendly Performance Venue
The festival takes place at La Halle d'Étain, the town's cultural and tourist center. This versatile and modern venue offers an intimate and comfortable setting for humor performances, fostering closeness between artists and the audience.
A Promising Festival
From its very first edition, the Meuse du Rire Festival has declared its ambitions: to become an annual humor event in the Meuse, attract new talents from the French comedy scene, and contribute to the cultural dynamism of Étain and its region.
