We have no idea what that picture is supposed to mean, but we do know that a Just For Laughs shirt, which is why included here because it’s that time of year again when all comedians start to sweat for real and not ironically as part of their act.

That’s right, it’s showcase time here in Los Angeles for the Just for Laughs Montreal Comedy Arts Festival that annually highlights the best in comedy from around the world.

Below are all the scheduled showcases that we know of and as we get more updates, we’ll update these listings appropriately. Also, we’ll try to feature the line-ups as best we can, though it’s often guess work at best. If you want to be added to this listing because you’re performing or there’s a last minute JFL Montreal showcase to add here e-mail us at thecomedybureau@gmail.com and we’ll also update these listing appropriately.

Note to comics regarding sweating: Even if you’re drenched in sweat on stage from nerves, don’t acknowledge it… unless that’s like a part of your act or something.
