Comediablanca 2025 Opens Today: What to Expect for Day 1
Casablanca — Comediablanca 2025 is kicking off today, with the second annual Morocco's biggest comedy festival opening tonight at Casablanca's Complexe Mohammed V.
The event, which was set to take place on May 30-31, was brought forward to May 29-30 to avoid clashing with a prominent match of the Wydad Athletic Club on May 31.
Tonight's event, the Gala Arabophone, will see fans of comedy ushered into an evening of Moroccan and Darija comedy.
The evening will start with a captivating opening ceremony, introducing Morocco's rich comedy heritage through a montage of popular Moroccan comedians and popular television sketches. For organizers, the idea is to pave the way to a nostalgic but fresh start to the event.
Taking to the stage are actress and comedian Hanan El Fadili, social media star and comedian Oussama Ramzi, dynamic performer Ayoub Idri, and the satirical pair Driss & Mehdi.
Up-and-coming stars Saïd & Wadie, social media stars Ghita Kitane and Simo Sedraty will also be on offer. And closing the show is comedian Mohammed Fatih, scheduled to deliver relatable and topical humour to the crowd.
Ahead of the gala event, attendees are invited to explore Comediablanca Village, which opens at 17:00 and runs until the show begins at 20:00.
The festival hub features artisan stalls, diverse food trucks, and cozy small stages hosting improvised performances and comedy workshops, games, creating a lively pre-show atmosphere.
Tomorrow, May 30, the event extends into the evening with the Gala Francophone, top-billed by Roman Frayssinet and a roster of Meryem Benoua as a host, Mimo Lazrak, Erick Baert, and more.
Today's Arabophone gala will prepare Casablanca to emerge as a beacon of humor and cross-cultural exchange. Morocco World News will offer continuous coverage from the center of the event. Tags: comedyComedy festival in Casblanca

Backstage at Comediablanca 2025: Artists Reflect Before the Laughs Begin
As the sun set over Casablanca and the lights went up at the Mohammed V Complex, the artists of Comediablanca 2025 gathered backstage. They looked nervous, yet felt honored and sounded energized by the anticipation of a 4,000-strong audience. The festival, now in its second edition, features some of the most beloved Francophone comedians of the moment. What it means to perform in Casablanca But before the first punchline hits the crowd, the performers shared personal insights, emotions, and what it means to take part in a comedy festival of this scale in Morocco. 'I hope it won't be my last time on stage in Morocco,' said Coco Makmak, one of this year's notable guests. For Makmak, Comediablanca represents not just an exciting performance opportunity, but a first encounter with the Moroccan public. Coco Makmak 'It was an honor for me to have been contacted by Sarad to take part in the event… all the artists who will be there tonight are big names in comedy, so I'm very happy to be taking part,' she said. Having participated in the Arabophone Gala the night before, she was struck by the scale and spirit of the venue. 'In a hall of 4,000 people, it's really impressive,' she enthused. 'The energy is incredible. It's my very first time on stage in Morocco and I hope it won't be my last.' Her goal for the night was simple but powerful: 'Honestly, what I'm hoping for tonight is that the audience buys into my humor… that I manage to offer you all the notes of humor that make me Coco Makmak.' Renowned French vocal performer Erick Baert echoed that enthusiasm. 'I'm the happiest guy in the world,' he said, visibly moved by the hero welcome he received. 'This is my big premiere here… in front of 4,000 people. I had the chance to see the crowd the night before — it was incredible. The atmosphere, the warmth… it sent shivers down my spine.' Erick Baert Though excited, the French performer admitted to some pre-show nerves: 'I'm stressed about tonight, I'll tell you that.' Baert offered the audience a teaser of what's to come, hinting at his upcoming return. 'I'm going to do 20 minutes of an extract of what I'm doing in the show because I'm coming back in November with my musicians for two performances here.' Meryem Benoua, who on this occasion is back in her home country as the event's host, was even more lyrical about what the show means to her. 'It's the only place where I feel truly at home,' she said. The Casablanca-born comedian and master presenter described the experience in deeply moving personal terms. Meryem Benoua 'It's an honor to be performing in Casablanca, the city where I was born… to be performing for Moroccans, for Casablancais — it's incredible.' Her love for the local audience was clear as she spoke. 'The energy of the Moroccan public is exceptional,' she said. 'They send out so much love, so much positive energy. And it's really the only place where I feel truly at home.' Rising star Mimo Lazrak , also a Casablanca native and a rising star in the francophone scene, spoke of pride and the commitment it takes to hold one's own when under pressure to rise up to expectations. For Mimo Lazrak, performing in Casablanca is both a homecoming and a responsibility. 'I'm proud to be playing in Casablanca, my home town, in front of my parents, my family, and the whole world. There's extra pressure, but I hope I can make them proud,' he said. A returning artist from last year's Comediablanca, he was impressed by the festival's growth. 'It was a great success and I'm back again this year for a bigger edition… with an organization worthy of the biggest comedy festivals in the world.' Mimo Lazrak Despite having only 12 minutes on stage, Lazrak expressed a desire to stay with the audience longer. 'Sometimes we want to play more, but we respect the festival.' It's hard to make a Moroccan laugh Rounding up this series of enthusiastic comments about the unique joy of giving joy to Casablanca, humorist Oualas spoke of embracing the challenge of a demanding Moroccan audience. A veteran of the Francophone African scene, Oualas (Lazrak Tahar) offered a typically Ivorian and Moroccan-flavored perspective on the Moroccan audience. 'It's like coming home. I love playing in this city… Casablanca has an incredible public — very generous and very sincere,' he began. But he also made it clear that this is not an easy crowd. In fact, no Moroccan crowd is. 'The Moroccan audience… is perhaps the most difficult of all the audiences I've met. They're very demanding. If it's not funny, they don't laugh.' Oualas To him, however, that high standard is what makes the challenge so rewarding. 'If you make a Moroccan laugh, you can make the world laugh… Moroccans are funny themselves. You have to work at it.' Oualas emphasized the importance of supporting festivals like Comediablanca, stressing: 'It's a great festival and I'm proud to be here. We, the cultural players, have a duty to accompany and support this kind of initiative.' For each performer, Comediablanca 2025 is more than just another gig, it's a stage that reflects their roots, their reach, and their respect for the Moroccan audience. Whether it's a first-time debut or a long-awaited return, their resoundingly clear message seemed to go to others who will come after them to grace future iterations of Comediablanca: this festival matters. As the comedians step onto the stage one by one, Casablanca is reminded that laughter, like language, travels far, but always sounds best when it comes from the heart.

Francophone Gala: What to Expect on Day 2 of Comediablanca
Casablanca- Tonight, the heart of Casablanca is pulsing with laughter and linguistic diversity as the Francophone GALA is taking over the Complexe Mohammed V for the highly anticipated Comediablanca 2025. Starting at 8 p.m., this VIP event is bringing together some of the brightest Francophone talents in comedy for a night of cultural celebration and comedic brilliance. Taking the stage are artists like Roman Frayssinet, Meryem Benoua as a host, Mimo Lazrak, Erick Baert, and many more. Organized under the banner of TENDANSIA, Comediablanca has quickly become a staple in Morocco's entertainment calendar, championing French-language performance and pan-African creative expression. The gala features a curated lineup of top-tier comedians, delivering sharp wit and vibrant storytelling to a diverse audience. Launched in 2024, Comediablanca was built on the idea that Morocco's multilingual reality deserves a multilingual stage. By offering both Arabophone and Francophone galas, the festival reflects the linguistic diversity of Moroccan society, giving equal space to local and international voices. This year's schedule was adjusted to avoid overlap with tomorrow's Wydad AC match against Porta, ensuring smooth crowd management and full focus on the performances. Beyond entertainment, tonight's gala also offers a deeper kind of release. Studies show that laughter lowers stress, boosts immune response, increases social bonding, and enhances mood – making festivals like Comediablanca more than cultural events. They are public moments of joy, solidarity, and emotional renewal. As the Francophone performers step into the spotlight, Casablanca is once again reminded that in uncertain times, laughter remains a powerful tool for unity and resilience. This year's edition emphasizes both inclusivity and exclusivity, with VIP invitations distributed to key partners and cultural influencers. Organizers reminded guests that tickets must be validated through the Guichet app, as third-party resales are not secure or valid for entry. Whether you're here for the punchlines, the people, or the prestige, Comediablanca 2025 promises a night to remember, where laughter becomes a language of unity.

One of the highlights of the evening was a powerful artistic program celebrating the Indigenous cultures of both Australia and Morocco. The embassy hosted a unique collaboration between Aboriginal Australian and Amazigh Moroccan artists. Australia Day 2025 in Rabat Guests enjoyed a live musical performance by 'Sunrise to Sunset,' a group blending traditional songs, percussions, and the didgeridoo. A live painting session followed, where artists from both countries decorated two traditional instruments, the didgeridoo and the rebab, to symbolize the rich heritage of their communities.
