The 34 ticket office^e edition of comedy festival is open ! The presentation of the program took place on Friday May 12 at the Espace Georges Brassens in the presence of elected officials, sponsors and volunteers. After the welcome address by President Christian Fourel, the director of programming, Laurent Sausset, presented in detail the 23 performances which will be held from August 25 to September 2 in Tournon, Tain-l’Hermitage and six surrounding towns.

Like last year, when the festival brought together more than 6,000 spectators, the organizers hope to do as well, “even a little better!“To do this, they have gone back to a formula that works well with a rich and eclectic program. For the launch party on August 25, the festival sets the bar high with the duo Cécile Giroud and Yann Stotz offered as a free show in the hall Jean Jaurès On the program: sketch, song and imitation!

Anne Roumanoff back

Then on Saturday August 26, the Espace Eden de Mercurol will welcome Christelle Cholet. Sunday August 27, the stage will move to La Roche-de-Glun with Yves Pujol. And Monday, August 28, Anne Roumanoff will make her big comeback at the Rochegude space in Tain-l’Hermitage, she who had already performed in 2014 at the humorists festival. Tain-l’Hermitage will also host the 1^is september a comedy Fan Club with Fabrice Blind, Philippe Chaubert and Cédric Clodic.

At the Théâtre de Tournon, Jovany and Marion Mézadorian will take the stage from August 29 to 30. New: on August 31, the Akromik festival in Saint-Etienne will feature a line-up of emerging artists from the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region on the stage of the Raffinerie restaurant in Tournon.
