A new comedy festival is heading to the French ski resort of Les Gets, at the heart of the Portes Soleil, next month.
Let's Get Comédie, which will take place from 20th to 24th January 2020, is being billed as Europe's first dual lingual comedy festival, featuring 'Frenglish' comedians.
Essentially this means French comics doing their shows in English and English-speaking comics doing their shows in French, as well as comics speaking in their own languages. Then there will comics singing their comedy whilst other comics will rap theirs as well as comics that will make no noise at all.
Headlining acts include Paris based comic and TV funny man Paul Taylor (Canal+ what the fuck France), BBCR4 regular and Live at the Apollo headliner Marcus Brigstocke, The Mash Report's Rachel Parris and French musical comedian Redouanne Harjane.
They will be joined on stage by mime sensation Men In Coats, well known improvisers Andy Smart and Ian Coppinger, Sing-a-long virtuosa Kirsty Newton, Stand-Up headliners Phil Darwin, Tom Wriggesworth, Nick Doody and Ian Moore.
There will also be daily apres ski music featuring Hobo Chic, The Blakanic Project, Squid Lips and Les Lunettes
"Let's Get Comédie is a truly original comedy festival that we know you will love – We will be throwing some après-ski live music parties to keep the festival fun going all night!" said Richard Lett of promoters Piste Productions, adding "Expect high octane giggles in the hills of Les Gets this winter!"
The headline shows each evening of the week will be in Les Gets town centre at La Salle de La Colombiers.
Doors and a fully serviced bar will open from 8pm with shows starting at 9pm. Other shows will add to the festival vibe from après-ski right through to the wee small hours in local bars, restaurants and hotels.
Tickets will be individually priced and there will be the possibility to buy an access all shows pass for €50 for the first 100 purchases – thereafter the price goes up to the standard pass price of 65€
