New Comedy Festival: stand-up and short films in Paris

The New Comedy Festival takes place at the Studio Galande, in Paris’s Latin Quarter, on November 17, 18 and 19, 2026. Its premise brings together two ways of making people laugh: stand-up, performed in front of an audience, and comedy short films, shown on the big screen.

Each evening begins with four comedians taking the stage, followed by a screening of three short films. The filmmakers are announced at the venue. The program changes from one night to the next, making the three events distinct offerings rather than repeat screenings of the same program.

Organized by an independent team, the event brings together live performance and cinema to showcase emerging talent. In a single evening, audiences can move from the direct address of stand-up to comedies made for the screen. It’s aimed at viewers keen to discover both formats in one venue in the Latin Quarter.

The three evenings run from 8 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. at Studio Galande–Beruchet, 42 rue Galande, in the 5th arrondissement. Tickets are available from the organizer for €12, or €8 for students. Each booking is for a specific evening, with a program distinct from those of the other two dates.
