OFF JFL

OFF-JFL is the festival’s edgiest and boldest side — and it shows. Every year, crowds gather to catch its unique mix of stand-up, improv, and sketch, featuring rising stars and seasoned performers alike. But OFF is more than just a festival: it’s a launchpad, a creative lab, and an incubator for the next wave of comedy. Here, bold voices find the freedom and support to take risks and redefine what’s next. Every performance is a one-of-a-kind experience, sparking discovery and, sometimes, revelation. OFF is the beating heart of a dynamic creative ecosystem — connecting emerging talent with the industry, Montreal with the world, and today’s artists with tomorrow’s audiences.
