Menton Brings The Laughs: A New Comedy Festival On The French Riviera

Attention all residents of the French Riviera! Get ready to exercise your laugh muscles... A new festival dedicated to laughter and humor will take place in Menton this coming November, titled "Menton Does Comedy".

A comedy festival

In partnership with the Barrière casino, the city of Menton and the café-theater P'tit Paris are launching a comedy festival in Menton: Menton fait sa comédie.

This new event will take place at the end of November, a time when even on the Côte d'Azur the weather tends to be gloomy.

However, no matter what, this festival promises to bring a ray of sunshine over the course of four evenings dedicated to humor.

2025 Edition

This edition of the Menton Comedy Festival will take place from Thursday, December 11 to Saturday, December 13, 2025.

The Humor Springboard Evening returns to Menton on Thursday, December 11, 2025 at 8 p.m., at the Francis Palmero Theater, an iconic venue of the local cultural scene. This event, which has become a must-attend for comedy enthusiasts, celebrates the new faces of Francophone humor.

On stage, young comedians take turns sharing their world and winning over the audience with original sketches and high-energy performances. A real springboard for these emerging artists, the evening offers a unique experience that is friendly, lively, and full of surprises.

Between bursts of laughter and discoveries, the Humor Springboard Evening promises an unforgettable time where talent and good spirits meet for the greatest pleasure of the Menton audience.
