One of the biggest annual events in the international comedy calendar, the Just For Laughs festival in Montreal, Canada has played host to virtually every major comedian of the last 30 years.
In the first of two exclusive compilations for Comedy Central - older viewers will remember the days when Just For Laughs found its natural home on Channel 4 - stars including Kristen Schaal, Russell Howard, Mark Watson and the great Eddie Izzard take to the stages of Montreal's grand Place des Arts and the funkier Club Soda.
