OFF JPR

But OFF is much more than just a festival.

OFF-JFL and OFF-JPR host some of the most memorable shows of the season: stand-up comedy, improvisation, comedy theater, and monologues, featuring a clever mix of emerging talent and established artists. It is also a professional incubator, a living laboratory, and a real launch pad for the new generation of artists.

At OFF, daring creators find the space, support, and freedom they need to take risks, experiment, and set the next big trends in comedy.

It is the creative heart of a dynamic professional ecosystem—a bridge between the talents of tomorrow and the industry of today, between the Montreal scene and the rest of the world.

Each show presented at OFF JPR is an original stage experience, offering curious audiences unique moments of discovery. Every moment can be a revelation.

As a career accelerator for emerging artists, OFF attracts a vibrant community of enthusiasts, insiders, programmers, producers, and broadcasters every year—all looking for the newest, freest, and most electrifying acts.
