Revival of the Marrakech Comedy Festival
The upcoming evening promises a diverse showcase featuring comedians from various schools and styles, reflecting the festival's commitment to embracing linguistic diversity and artistic experiences. This gala event is part of the inaugural edition of the festival, which will take place in Marrakech from June 4 to 6, 2026. The festival is being revitalized after several years of hiatus, introducing a new format that includes changes in name, programming, and performance venues.
Previously known as the "Marrakech Laugh Festival," this event was initiated by comedian Jamel Debbouze in 2011. The festival faced intermittent pauses due to various circumstances, but it is now returning with a fresh identity under the name Marrakech Comedy Festival, aiming to deliver a renewed experience to its audience.
The festival management has undergone significant changes, with Karim Debbouze taking on the role of producer, while the hosting of performances has been entrusted to comedian Malek Bentalha. This transformation signals a new era for the festival, promising an exciting lineup that will captivate audiences.
