With the traditional Montreal Just for Laughs festival on hold due to the coronavirus, festival organizers have been seeking out new ways to present comedy to local audiences, from offering up a digital edition of the festival this spring to hosting a series of shows this past weekend at the new RoyalMount Drive-In theatre.
Comedian Adam Growe of Cash Cab hosted long-running Just for Laughs favourite The Relationship Show on July 24, along with Comedy Night in Canada on July 25. Our photographer Eva Blue was on hand to check out The Relationship Show, which also featured sets from Graham Chittenden, Eman El-Husseini, Jean Paul, and Ali Hassan. Check out photos from the night below.
The virtual edition of Just for Laughs runs from October 9-10. Read more about the digital edition of the festival here.
