Tunis — A festival dubbed "week of laughter", will take place at the Municipal Theatre in Tunis from January 27 to February 3, 2008.

The festival which is organized by 'Yalil Production' aims at bringing financial and moral relief to disabled children with specific needs. All of the proceedings of the event will go to UNESI (Union Nationale des Ecoles Spécialisées et intégrées), an association which aims at helping children suffering from linguistic, emotional or behaviour related problems.

Nine shows, by talented humorists from Tunisia, France, Canada Algeria and Morocco, will be presented. After opening the show, French comic Yves Lecoq will be followed by Adam, Tomer Sisley, Anne Romanoff, Nasreddine Ben Mokhtar, Jaafar Gasmi, Anthony Kavanagh, Baaziz and Booder for what promises to be a hilarious event.

The organizers say that plans are afoot to take the show to four other main Tunisian cities. In the aftermath of this second edition of the festival (the first edition took place on in 2007), they also hope to turn the event into a permanent annual event.
