Just For Laughs content is currently earning 500 million views per month, pulling 1 billion views per year on YouTube alone.
Just For Laughs Gags: There’s no dialogue but plenty of laughs when a crazy Quebec-based troupe uses the city as its stage and its inhabitants, or victims, as characters!
LOL Just For Laughs: Unique comedy series of non-verbal sketches where versatile characters evolve in different scenarios and outlandish situations deliver unexpected payoffs. Season 12 currently in production.
Just For Laughs Gala Stand-Up Comedy Specials: filmed in Quebec at the Just for Laughs Festival, one of the world’s largest comedy events, these stand-up specials showcased top international and emerging comedians such as Martin Short, Chelsea Handler, Adam Sandler, Whoopi Goldberg, Eddie Izzard, Trevor Noah, Jim Carrey, Howie Mandel, Tiffany Haddish, Ronny Chieng, Jimmy Fallon and many more. Season 8 filming takes place this July in Montreal.
Avon stated: “Just For Laughs crossed a monumental threshold! 100 billion views of our Just For Laughs digital content including Stand-Up Comedy Specials, Just For Laughs Gags and LOL Just For Laughs. This is more than a number; it’s a testament to the global power of comedy and the incredible reach of our content and our 80 million subscribers across platforms. We continue our expansion.”
Carlos Pacheco, JFL Director of Monetization and OTT added: “We’re extremely pleased with the incredible engagement we’re seeing—especially when you consider that we’re an independent production company reaching, and in some cases surpassing, the numbers of national broadcasters who have way more resources, IP, channels, content, and funding. With our recent FAST and upcoming channel launches, our summer festivals kicking off, and new content rolling out over the next few months, we’re expecting these numbers to keep climbing.”
