Here’s What Montreal’s Festival au Volant (FAUV) Drive-In Comedy Festival Looked Like

The Festival au Volant (FAUV) comedy drive-in festival kicked off this past weekend with six shows over three days, including sold-out performances on Friday and Saturday night.

With an outdoor stage set up just by the Trudeau airport, each event featured a dedicated host along with a handful of Québécois comics. The Friday shows were hosted by Les Grandes Crues, the Saturday shows by Mehdi Bousaidan, and the Sunday shows by NEEV and Eddy King.
