Gala d’ouverture des Fous Rires Gascons 2026

The 2026 opening gala of Les Fous Rires Gascons sets the scene on Friday, 10 April 2026 at the Dôme de Gascogne in Auch. The evening is led by the duo Cécile Giroud & Yann Stotz, acting as masters of ceremony, presenting a 1 hour 35-minute lineup where different worlds follow one another without detour.

On stage, six comedians take turns. Emma Bojan, who first gained recognition on France Inter, delivers precise stand-up that captures everyday life with a fresh perspective. Nadia Roz brings her energy and theatrical flair, alternating between blunt confidences and sharp punchlines. Thomas Wiesel, a voice from Switzerland, probes current affairs and our little contradictions with finely honed observational humour. Other guests complete the selection, and a surprise may be slipped into the programme.

The concept is simple: styles that echo one another, shifting rhythms, headliners mixed with new voices. The bill is designed to share a collective moment and set the tone for the 2026 edition, driven by the tempo of the Giroud & Stotz duo and the diversity of the onstage offerings.
