Smile! You’re at the 29th annual International Laughter Festival of Rochefort!

The television broadcast of the opening night gala of Rochefort’s annual Laughter Festival was quite a show. Stars of the comic world and young talent were featured in a variety of entertaining acts to mark the first night of a village wide festival full of music, fun, and a comic strip market. The stage was marked by tall pillars, made of dimensional flame retardant Polystretch fabric twisted to replicate the ribbed look of Roman columns. The acts went on to delight the public on the stage covered in budget friendly ShowTex black HiShine dance floor.
