Videotron is pleased to be associated with the announcement of the Street Arts
programming for the 27th Just For Laughs / Juste pour rire comedy Festival. Once
again, Videotron is enriching the Festival experience by welcoming
Festival-goers to the Studio Videotron and the Info-Rire information booths,
offering free local and long-distance calls between subscribers at Videotron
telephone booths; and providing activities and content to complement the
performances.


"It is a privilege to be able to help create the best Just For Laughs experience
again this year," said Claude Foisy, Vice President, Brand and Content of
Videotron. "Our efforts will make it possible for Festival-goers to see new
acts, discover the latest technology and get the most out of the Festival."


Studio Videotron

The place to watch the Galas, enjoy the Festival and be a star for a day

After attracting thousands of Festival-goers in 2007 and 2008, Studio Videotron
will be back with its ever-popular "Triomphe au St-Denis" activity. Visitors are
videotaped telling a few jokes (participants can use their own jokes or choose
from a collection available at the site). The performances are then edited and
the images superimposed to create a video in which the budding comic appears on
stage at the Theatre St-Denis before an audience roaring with laughter. The
clips will be available on videotron.com/hahaha.


Be a star from your own living room

This year, all comedy fans across Quebec can bask in the glory of the "Triomphe
au St-Denis." Visitors to the videotron.com/hahaha site will be able to upload a
video of their comedy routine and then create their own montage using the online
editing tool. They will then be able to download the video and post it on the
Internet or share it with friends.


Throughout the Festival, Videotron products available at Studio Videotron will
help disseminate Festival content and spread the laughter. Visitors will be able
to watch excerpts from the Galas and make free local calls on the Just For
Laughs mobile telephone, packed with wild and crazy content for comedy fans.


Le Monde de Victor

A place for family fun

Festival-goers will also be able to visit Le Monde de Victor, a world of shows
and carnival games presented by Videotron. In all, some 60 performers and
musicians will create a comedy fairground. The street will be transformed into a
giant stage where an improv play in three acts will be performed: Victor tries
to win back the affections of the lovely Rose, despite the evil influence of
malicious gossips.


Videotron phone booths

No more long-distance charges between Videotron subscribers

Once again, Videotron is offering Festival-goers free calls across the province
at the 10 Videotron telephone booths on the Festival site. With Videotron, there
are no more long-distance charges for calls between subscribers.


Videotron info booths

So doubled-over with laughter you don't know which way to turn?

Festival-goers will never be far from one of Videotron's three Info-Rire
information booths, where helpful Videotron staff will be on-hand to provide
tons of free info and help make the 27th Just For Laughs / Juste pour rire
Festival another resounding success.
