"It was over a raclette with the family that we had the idea of a comedy festival in the mountains and this is what created the DNA of our event: a family and friendly festival! The mountain wins you over and Les Menuires makes you laugh!" - Florent Peyre

The Menuires Festival of Laughter returns in 2023 for its fourth edition!
 
After having gathered thousands of festival-goers, Florent Peyre is back in the heart of the largest ski area in Europe: Les Menuires, for an explosive and original fourth edition from March 7 to 9, 2023. This year, the festival will feature a line-up of comedy talents presented by Inès Vandamme and Florent Peyre - 
7 comedians will be present for the opening gala 

A festival of laughter, three evenings of pure laughter and conviviality, three comedy shows and this year's novelty, an opening night (limited seating) with a line-up of seasoned comedy talents. The last three editions have been a great success. Florent Peyre and the whole team of the Menuires du Rire have taken up the challenge by offering to the Menuires renowned plays such as Le Prénom, or Duel à Davidé Jonatown, the famous play by Artus. But also quality comedians such as Laura Laune, Viktor Vincent, Bun Hay Mean, Arnaud Tsamère, Booder and prestigious guests like Laurent Gerra and Camille Cerf. It is with joy and gratitude that every year, Florent Peyre invites his friends to join him on the slopes and on stage in Les Menuires. This year, the festival will feature a line-up of comedy talents presented by Inès Vandamme and Florent Peyre - 7 comedians over 3 evenings including a gala. But let's not say any more and discover what the Menuires Festival of Laughter offers you from March 7th to 9th 2023.

Tuesday March 7th.

Edgar Yves, certified tease, more than 6 million views on his passage "corruption", it is said "insolent, hilarious and intelligent", a whole program. Felix Dhjan, member of the Jamel Comedy Club, he is crazy, with effective writing, and Yann Guillarme, resident of the morning columns on Rire et Chansons and regular of the Montreux Comedy Festival.

Wednesday March 8th
GUS, Charming, funny and passionate, Gus invites you to his incredible show! This "Ace" of manipulation makes cards appear, disappear and fly with exceptional dexterity. Master of illusions, he will surprise you with spectacular numbers!  90 breathtaking minutes, during which Gus will amaze young and old with humor, tenderness, and a touch of romance. 

Thursday, March 9
After having "left the dress" in her previous show, Caroline Vigneaux finds herself naked as Eve in the Garden of Eden. In her turn, she bites the apple, forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge... And as she takes a liking to it, she bites again and everything goes haywire: she discovers the truth about secrets never before discussed, and moves into your town to reveal everything, even if it means breaking ancestral taboos! 

Ines Vandamme as host of the gala evening
Dancer, choreographer, performer and teacher, Ines Vandamme will host the Gala evening alongside Florent Peyre, whom she knows well since they were dance partners on the last season of Dancing with the Stars. Trained at the international dance center of Bruno Vandelli and Cathy Masson, she has won several gold medals in numerous national and international competitions. As a dancer, she has accompanied many artists such as Kendji, Johnny Halliday, Jenifer, Shakira, Pitbull or Alicia Keys. Since 2019, Ines joined the troupe of dancers on Dancing with the Stars and the team of hosts on TF1

This year, the festival will donate a portion of its proceeds to Mountain Riders, thanks to the opening night. An awareness booth will be set up in the auditorium to inform festival-goers. They will also have the opportunity to discover the actions led by our ecological partner, during the day, under the Menuires du rire tent located under the snow front.
