On Saturday, the first part will be given by Cyril Etesse, actor and humorist specializing in imitation. The evening will continue with the duo formed by Gil Alma and Ben Joubert. The two comedians will put themselves in the shoes of a groom and his best man, at the heart of a “completely crazy” show, promises Ropiane.
For the people of the village
With the D’Jal show, last year, the Rires sur Lajoux festival and the Maison des oeuvres experienced their limits in terms of capacity (410 seats, 100 fewer during meal and show evenings) and technique. However, there is currently no question of considering expanding, the committee says.
The festival is back at cruising speed this year with three evenings (compared to four last year.) “The idea, initially, is to bring this House of Works to life for the people of the village”, underlined the president . Also, he notes that the shows that worked the best last year were those that featured the lesser-known artists.
The Diva doesn’t forget the kids
Also, the committee agreed that the festival has now found and retained its audience; On a rapidly expanding comedy scene, Rires sur Lajoux has managed to put its stamp on itself and stand out. Each edition was a huge success, a success that the committee attributes to good value for money and pleasant surprises when discovering the artists proposed. La Diva’s ambitions are not limited to the comedy festival. Sandro Cestele recalled that the association was open to supporting other cultural events. Recently, she supervised Henri Dés’ concert in Lajoux, which was a great success. On June 28, the association will once again offer a day dedicated to children. A show will be offered on this occasion. “The idea is to offer the show free of charge and finance it with the profits of the festival,” said Sandro Cestele.
