Africa Laughs Festival: A 6th Pan-African Edition
The Festival Africa of Laughter proudly announces its grand return for its 6th edition, held under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, solidifying its status as one of the major events in Francophone comedy. Led by the Moroccan-Ivorian comedian Tahar Lazrak, known as Oualas, the festival continues its core mission: to celebrate the pan-African spirit and promote laughter as a means of dialogue, cohesion, and solidarity among peoples.
This year’s edition is particularly special as it coincides with the festivities marking the 50th anniversary of the Green March, reminding us of the values of unity and national pride. Organizers emphasize that this new edition aims to provide a diverse, unifying, and deeply human programming, reflecting a creative and optimistic Africa.
A Rich and Diverse Lineup
The strength of the festival lies in the quality and diversity of its artistic lineup. Renowned comedians from Morocco, Côte d’Ivoire, Niger, France, and other African nations will join the event. Headliners include Oualas, Camille Lellouche, Sofiane Soch, Le Magnific, Jason Brokerss, Mimo Lazrak, Marcellin Eucon, DJ Red Supa, Ramatoulaye, Jalil Tijani, and Zouhair Bahaoui.
The tour kicks off in Morocco with two scheduled dates on November 12 and 13 in Casablanca and Fès (Mégarama), before continuing its journey through sub-Saharan Africa.
A Continental Tour
After its Moroccan stop, the festival will head to two African capitals:
Niamey (Niger), on November 22 at the Palais des Congrès
Abidjan (Côte d’Ivoire), on November 28 at the Palais de la Culture
These events will feature Oualas, Camille Lellouche, Sofiane Soch, Le Magnific, Redouane Behache, Ramatoulaye, and other renowned comedians.
A Festival That Has Become a Movement
More than just an artistic event, Africa of Laughter has established itself as a true cultural movement, reflecting the vibrant energy of an Africa that laughs, creates, and unites. This 6th edition aims to strengthen the bonds between audiences and to make laughter a universal language.
It promises to be a significant moment filled with emotion, conviviality, and pride, celebrating both Morocco and Africa in a shared joy.
