Casablanca’s International Comedy Festival Crowns New Talent at 18th Edition
Two days of comedy, music, and cultural exchange brought new energy to Casablanca’s vibrant artistic scene. Fez– The 18th edition of the Casablanca International Comedy Festival wrapped up on a high note Saturday night at the Anfa Cultural Complex, bringing two days of laughter, music, and cultural exchange to a close. Held under the theme of joy, openness, and artistic dialogue, this year’s festival, organized by the Arts, Cultures & Créations Association, offered a rich program blending stand-up comedy, musical performances, film screenings, street shows, and even magic. The mission is to spotlight fresh talent and create a space where humor becomes a shared language. From one-man shows to ensemble acts, young comedians took the stage with boldness and heart, exploring a wide range of topics drawn straight from Moroccan society. And the audience showed up ready to laugh, and ready to vote. In the end, the top prize was awarded by the festival jury to Zakaria Hamza and Youssef Rbik, a dynamic duo known as “Tom & Jerry,” whose chemistry and timing brought down the house. Meanwhile, the audience favorite award went to Ayoub Mourid, a rising comic whose energy clearly struck a chord. As for Souhail Ghazali, he walked away with the Jury’s Encouragement Prize, proof that the future of Moroccan comedy is in good hands. Festival President Lotfi Bourji called this year’s edition a clear reflection of FIRC’s growing role as a launchpad for local and international comedians. “It’s not just about comedy,” he said, “it’s about building human connections through humor and giving emerging artists a real chance to be seen and heard.” This year’s edition was organized in partnership with the Faculty of Letters at Aïn Chock – Hassan II University and the Moroccan Company for Medical Sciences. And it wasn’t just about entertainment. The lineup also included masterclasses and creative workshops, morning sessions for kids, a national comedy competition for young talents, and tributes to major names in the scene. There were comic films on the big screen. There were halqas and street performances in open-air spaces. There were concerts that mixed stand-up with live music. And yes, there was even comic magic. All of it came together to create a festival that didn’t just entertain, it inspired. Eighteen editions in, Casablanca’s comedy festival continues to evolve as a space where laughter bridges generations, backgrounds, and boundaries. A festival built not only on punchlines, but on possibility.
