Just for Laughs cancels its 2024 edition due to financial difficulties. The festival was founded in 1983 and is one of the most popular in the world.
It is scheduled to return in 2025, but not in the same form as in the past. The decision was made after the festival's board of directors reviewed its financial situation and decided that it was not viable to carry on with the festival as it was. The board decided to cancel the event, which was scheduled to take place in July 2024.
