A laugh a minute. A death every 12 minutes.
Craven A "Just for Laughs"

The Montreal laugh-festival "Just for Laughs" tours central and western Canada in March, 1999.   Posters, billboards, and newspaper ads made this one of the most hyped night-club circuits of the year.

Marketing the event, of course, helps market the cigarette. This tour is another close collaboration between Rothmans, Benson & Hedges' Craven A and Andy Nulman's Just for Laughs festival.
