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.
