Overview

The Monte-Carlo Comedy Film Festival is an international film festival in Monaco devoted entirely to comedy, founded in 2001 by Ezio Greggio and the late Mario Monicelli. It is notable as one of the few festivals focused exclusively on comedy, presenting feature-length competitions, out-of-competition premieres, master classes, and a gala awards ceremony at the Grimaldi Forum, and it is regarded as an important event for showcasing the breadth of comedy cinema on the festival circuit.
