‘Just for Laughs’ Takes A Break

The annual “Just For Laughs Chicago” comedy festival, a summer fixture since 2009, will not take place in 2014.

“We’ve decided to take a year off to rethink the festival model, to adjust to the current marketplace,” Just For Laughs CEO Bruce Hill told the Chicago Tribune.

Hill said a similar adjustment was made to the Toronto version of the festival.
