Top In Humour: The Springboard for Tomorrow's Comedians
For over twenty years, the Top In Humour festival has made Chartres and its surrounding area a major hub for humor in France. Every November, the new generation of comedians takes over the performance venues in Chartres, Mainvilliers, and Luisant for evenings of laughter, emotion, and discovery.
Les Tremplins des P'tits Rieurs: A National Reference
The beating heart of the festival is the Soirée des Tremplins (Springboard Evening), which has become a true benchmark in the French comedy scene. These springboards allow us to discover the talents who will be tomorrow's comedians, before anyone else. The festival has thus helped launch artists who have become stars of the French comedy stage:
- Jérémy Ferrari, now one of the most popular comedians in France
- Laura Laune, winner of "La France a un incroyable talent" (France's Got Talent)
- Élodie Poux, queen of the one-woman-show
These successes demonstrate the artistic flair of the festival team and the quality of the selection made each year among young comedy talents.
An Eclectic Program
Beyond the springboards, the Top In Humour festival offers a rich and varied program: stand-up shows by established and emerging comedians, solo or duo performances, comedies, and special evenings. Each edition typically includes five performance evenings, spread across Chartres (at "Le Off"), Mainvilliers, and Luisant, thus creating a regional impact.
Gérard Sibelle's Discerning Eye
The festival's programming benefits from the expertise of Gérard Sibelle, a renowned talent scout in the comedy world, particularly for the "Juste pour Rire" festival. His sharp eye guarantees a selection of artists with exceptional potential, making Top In Humour a true laboratory for contemporary French comedy.
A Festival Rooted in its Territory
By extending across several municipalities in the Chartres region, Top In Humour illustrates a desire to democratize access to culture and to bring humor closer to the residents. Accessible prices and the friendly atmosphere of the evenings contribute to making this festival a popular and unifying event, eagerly awaited each autumn.
