About this artistic residency

Can humour be a catalyst for reflection and transformation? Absolutely.

In Caux, the arts have always played an essential role in transmitting values, stimulating reflection and creating connections. But the life of a young artist is not always easy — and that's where networking comes into its own.

As part of our Hospitality for Change programme and our Art and Culture initiative, we are pleased to welcome, in collaboration with the Théâtre Boulimie and its partners, for the second time, a residency for emerging and established stand-up comedians, whose ambition is to help create or finalise a comedy project: a sketch, a radio or television show, or any other form of comic expression.

This residency is part of the Caux Palace's commitment to making its facilities available to cultural organisations and artists (subject to availability). Its exceptional location, overlooking Lake Geneva and close to Geneva, makes it an ideal venue for retreats, research and creative residencies, particularly in the fields of writing and design.
