Just for Laughs, the comedy festival that began in Canada in 1983, will celebrate its 40th anniversary next year with a major London outing, held at the O2 and including a series of shows in partnership with Comic Relief.
Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds is one of the headline draws at the festival, which runs from 2 to 5 March and takes place in the arena and other venues at the O2 complex. In an event entitled Maximum Effort (named after his production company), Reynolds will look back on a career that has taken him from sitcom and romcom star to Marvel superhero and Wrexham AFC co-owner. He will be in conversation with his Deadpool 2 co-star, standup Rob Delaney.
