In April, organizers had postponed the 38th edition of the confab to the September amid the coronavirus pandemic; it had originally been set for mid-July.<\/p>\n<p>Programming lineups will be announced in the weeks to come, but the Just For Laughs Group said the offering will be a mix of free and interactive online gatherings, conversations, panels, performances and events. JFL Montreal&rsquo;s ComedyPRO, Toronto&rsquo;s JFL42 and ComedyCon will also be a part of the lineup.<\/p>\n<p>The previously set The Ethnic Show, The Nasty Show and the Bill Burr concert show will reschedule to 2021.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;More than ever, we want to maintain our position as an industry leader by creating innovative comedy events that allow our artists to work and to make the highest-quality comedy available to the public,&rdquo; Charles D&eacute;carie, president and CEO of the Just For Laughs Group, said Tuesday. &ldquo;Despite all the changes our industry has been going through, the most important thing for us is to satisfy our festival-goers. We&rsquo;re sparingno effort to present the best festival possible, while respecting the health measures that are in force.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The JFL fest&rsquo;s sister Juste pour rire in Quebec also announced it is planning an event for September 29-October 10 that if safe per local officials would be a hybrid of in-person, prerecorded and virtual performances. Both festivals will be hosted on a new virtual online portal with free offerings.<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 1983, the Just for Laughs Group is under the management of Groupe CH, Bell Media and ICM Partners.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2020\/07\/just-for-laughs-festival-2020-virtual-program-1202989926\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/deadline.com\/2020\/07\/just-for-laughs-festival-2020-virtual-program-1202989926\/<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/> Patrick Hipes<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p> Patrick Hipes<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"233\" height=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/4218-logo.png\" alt=\"\">The Montreal-set&nbsp;Just for Laughs&nbsp;Festival is going virtual for its 2020 edition this fall, setting a two-day online event for the annual A-list comedy showcase for October 9-10.
