Festival Il is time to laugh about it

Genval and its idyllic setting have participated from the start in the Festival concept: forget the turbulence of everyday life for a moment, relax by discovering a quality program, feet in the grass, comfortably installed in a deckchair. And above all, invite you to sip and taste local products that delight the taste buds. We understand it: Il est temps d’en rire pampers its audience by offering lightness, carelessness and unforgettable reunions around a quality show. Life in the open air. Nose in the stars. Program: 28/08: WHAT THE FUN: La Tournée du Stand Up brings together 20 artists from What The Fun selected from among the best talents of the Belgian French-speaking comedy scene and sends them to the four corners of Wallonia. 29/08: LAURENCE BIBOT: Laurence Bibot is back! And promises a new solo show, designed with the complicity of Guillermo Guiz, which could have been defined as the first one-grandmother-show and titled "Bobonne" in reference to her new status or "Star" like the eponymous and unjustly unknown song by Françoise Hardy 29/08 (2 PM): DAN GAGNON: All the phrases that adults say to children and that are frustrating to hear, like "You'll understand when you're big, it's not a hotel here, I'm your mother not your girlfriend"... 30/08 (8 PM): LE COUP DE PELLE: Stéphanie Spielberg, author of horror novels, moves into a manor to write. The director, Nestor Laporte, ready to do anything to inspire her book and promote his hotel, clashes with an equally determined writer. 30/08 (3 PM): LA MACHINE DES ENFANTS: A mad inventor has created an extraordinary machine to give happiness to children. A nursery rhyme lever, a theater slider, a song button, and a multitude of surprising connections quickly transform the performance hall into a real amusement park. 31/08: JÉRÉMY CHARBONNEL: But where did it go wrong? Jérémy Charbonnel delivers his struggles as a single dad who fights not to end up like his father... but not only that! 01/09: PHILIPPINE DELAIRE: It is through her colorful characters that made her success on social networks that Philippine talks to you about family and her reluctance to create one, about time passing and the talent it takes to be big without being an adult. 02/09: VIZOREK & FRIENDS: After the huge success of Alex Vizorek and Friends, we are doing it again in 2026. Alex Vizorek will once again be accompanied by 3 friends and not the least since we will welcome Thomas Wiesel, Doully and Yann Guillarme. 03/09: BLANDINE LEHOUT: What she defends on stage is life, the real one, without filter, without retouching. Voir Blandine on stage is like being in the living room of your friend who monopolizes, admittedly, a little attention but with whom we spend the best evenings. 04/09: VÉRONIQUE GALLO: Real life is not the one we dream of while watching Instagram or Netflix. No. Real life is the one that arrives without warning with its missed appointments, its surprising surprises and its unforeseen struggles. Info and reservations: www.ilesttempsdenrire.be
