The Just For Laughs comedy festival has revealed the participants and gameplan for its 2021 New Faces, its marquee discovery stand-up showcase that over the years has served as a launching pad for up-and-coming talent like Jimmy Fallon, Gabriel Iglesias, Kevin Hart, Amy Schumer, Ali Wong and Pete Davidson to name a few.
It is part of this year’s edition of the festival, which kicks off today and runs through Saturday featuring in-person stand-up shows in its home base of Montreal as well as for the first time shows in Los Angeles and New York City because of travel restrictions due to the pandemic.
New Faces is also adjusting. For the first time since 1996, the New Faces and New Faces: Characters series will be taking place in Los Angeles, while New Faces: Canada will take place in Montreal. All four showcases will be streamed online for all ComedyPRO pass holders.
Los Angeles’ Dynasty Typewriter will host the New Faces of Comedy showcases Wednesday and Thursday at 7 p.m. PT. and the New Faces: Characters showcase Thursday at 4 p.m. PT. The New Faces: Canada showcase will be at Club Soda in Montreal on Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET.
