Dan Soder Joins Just For Laughs 2026 Montreal Lineup
Dan Soder is part of the second round of shows Just For Laughs added to its 2026 flagship comedy festival in Montreal. The update expands an already announced lineup for the July 15-26 event, with ticket access beginning May 7 and public on-sale following May 8.
Montreal Adds Soder
Nick Brazao, vice president of programming and talent, said, "As we continue to expand this year’s lineup, we’re excited to build on the momentum of an already incredible 2026 edition". He also said, "From emerging voices to established legends, this year’s Festival will be a true celebration of comedy at every level."
Soder joins a list of additions that also includes Lucy Darling, Chris Fleming, Joel Kim Booster, and Rick Glassman. Jerry Seinfeld received a second show at Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier at Place des Arts on July 23, giving the festival another high-demand booking inside the same Montreal run.
July 15-26 Schedule
The festival runs from July 15-26 in Montreal, and the added names build on a previously announced roster that already included Weird Al Yankovic, Gabriel Fluffy Iglesias, Atsuko Okatsuka, and Gerry Dee. That mix gives Just For Laughs a deeper lineup before the general public can buy tickets.
Venue pre-sale opened May 7 at 10 a.m., with public on-sale starting May 8 at 10 a.m. For readers deciding whether to lock in seats now or wait, the practical move is simple: the first buying window opened before the wider release, and the festival has already moved into its second wave of programming.
Seinfeld's Second Show
Seinfeld's added show is scheduled for July 23 at 6:30PM and 9:30PM at Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier at Place des Arts. Lucy Darling is also set for July 26 at L’Olympia at 5:00PM and 8:00PM, a reminder that the second-round announcement is not a filler drop but a real expansion of the Montreal slate.
For ticket buyers, the signal is clear: the 2026 edition is still being built out, and the new names are landing early enough to matter before the public sale opens. Anyone looking for the best shot at the bigger draws should be paying attention now, not after the general on-sale window closes over its first rush.
