French comedy festivals announce upcoming lineups for September 2026

Several comedy festivals are scheduled to take place in France during late 2026.

In Le Pradet, the Festival du Rire will run from September 10 to 13. The lineup features a diverse range of performers, including Alexandre Pesle, known for his work on Canal+ and 'Caméra Café', and Christophe Guybet, who appears in the Netflix series 'Emily in Paris'. Other scheduled performers include Daniel Rabier and Régis Mailhot.

Meanwhile, the La Route du Rire festival will take place in Rennes and Saint-Malo from September 3 to 6. The event will feature last year's winner, Alfred H, performing his show 'Drôle de vie'. The program also includes a stand-up gala by the Mokiri troupe and a talent competition in Rennes where selected comedians will perform for a jury to compete for a spot in the 2027 edition.
