“Since 2014, La Fondation canadienne pour le dialogue des culture and the Rendez-vous de la francophonie have been partners of choice for the Desjardins LOL-Mort de rire Contest. We are so proud to host this 6th Just for Gala Juste pour rire at our home. Opening for André Sauvé and Rachelle Elie, Ontario’s francophone community will be represented on stage thanks to Félix Gravelle and Rosalie Lacroix, finalists of the Competition and both students at the École Nationale de l’Humour, and Jonathan Dion, trainer at the Contest and comedian from the Ottawa area. This unique event will be hosted and presented to us by Neev,” said Ms. Céline Baillargeon-Tardif, Executive Director of ACFO SDG.
Note that admission is free, however a voluntary contribution is requested in support of the Collective for the Cornwall Arts Centre. In addition, the Just for Laughs Gala will be broadcast live on the Web.
