Jim Jefferies and others to take over Cancun beach resort

Montreal-based comedy festival Just For Laughs it to take over a Mexican beach resort for a package holiday tailor-made for stand-up fans.

The likes of Jim Jefferies, Tom Segura, Nikki Glaser, Steve-O and Ron Funches will be heading to the five-star Barcelo Maya Grand Resorts in Cancun for four nights, starting on November 3.

As well as their gigs – plus Q&A sessions and podcast recordings – the week will feature pool parties, club nights and beach events.

The festival is a tie-up with travel company Pollen Presents, who are also promoting a People Just Do Nothing-themed Amsterdam weekender over Halloween with the Kurupt FM crew.

Early bird packages for Just For Laughs Escapes will start at $859 (£606) and are not yet on sale - but register your interest here.
