ComediHa! to acquire Juste pour rire assets

The Quebec City-based ComediHa! group has been given approval to acquire some of Juste pour rire’s assets but they won’t get the building on the Main where Juste pour rire’s headquarters used to be.

Will the new comedy fest be held only in French? Just For Laughs had a certain fame internationally mostly because it brought American and British comics here, but ComediHa! won’t have produced any comedy in English. It doesn’t matter much to me but it seems like something that should be discussed.
