Eddy King, official spokesperson
A standout figure in Québec’s comedy scene since 2007, Eddy King is known for his laid-back, thoughtful style and unwavering authenticity. Born in France to Congolese parents and based in Montréal since his teenage years, he embodies an inspiring diversity that resonates deeply with local audiences. A father of two daughters and a familiar face on TV and at major comedy galas, he uses his platform with heart and intelligence. His inclusive and thoughtful humor makes him the perfect spokesperson for the VITA Festival!
