Organisers have announced that the latest edition of the Festrogen Comedy Festival will take place across various venues in Luxembourg City from Saturday 18 to Sunday 19 April 2026.

Established in 2022, Festrogen is described by the organisers as being more than a festival. Regarded as a community, a creative lab and a supportive launchpad for people identifying as women, non-binary and queer, as well as allies of all of the above, who want to explore comedy, sharpen their craft and connect with like-minded humans, the two-day event will feature workshops, showcases and networking, all designed to “lower barriers and raise laughs”.

Workshops

Suitable for first-timers and seasoned jokesters alike, three workshops will offer advice on starting in standup comedy, joke writing and combatting imposter syndrome.
