3 . Many people may know Coachella, which is one of the largest, most famous and most profitable (盈利的)music festivals in the United States and all over the world. However, few people know Just for Laughs (JFL). Founded by Montreal producer Gilbert Rozon in 1983, Just for laughs is the largest international comedy festival in the world. Paul Ronca, the festival’s director, describes Just for Laughs as the Coachella of comedy. “If you’re a fan of comedy or work in it, this festival should be at the very top of your list,” he says.

Just for Laughs was originally a two—day French—only comedy event. In 1985, Andy Nulman joined the festival's staff and introduced English language events as well. Thanks to Andy Nulman, the festival grew from a two—day show to a month—long event drawing international audiences. In 1999, Nulman left the festival’s fall —time employ. However, he directed its major shows at the Saint—Denis Theatre every July, and remained on the board of directors of the festival's parent company. About II years later, Nulman returned to Just for Laughs in July 2010 as president of Festivals and Television.

Now Just for Laughs is coming Io Africa. A joint venture (合资企业) between the great comedy brand and a South Africa's company, Just for Laughs Africa will give the African comedians the opportunity of getting international publicity. The long—term continental partnership was announced during the 35^th Montreal Comedy Festival, with the news that the first Just for Laughs Africa will take place in Durban, South Africa.

“We have already set up successful Just for Laughs festivals in many cities beyond Montreal including Toronto, Vancouver and Sydney, and we couldn’t be more excited by this new venture in South Africa ,” says Gilbert Rozon, president and founder of the Just for Laughs Group. “The opportunity to bring the experience of the Just for Laughs team to developing African comedy was one we just couldn’t decline, so we agreed on the partnership,” says Gilbert Rozon.
