The Just For Laughs Festival has named Louis C.K. (pictured) as its Comedy Person of the Year. C.K. writes, directs, edits, produces and stars in his own show Louie for FX.

C.K. will appear at the fourth annual fest July 29 to claim his prize, sandwiched between keynote hilarity from Marc Maron and Andy Kindler, who will present his ‘State of The Industry’ address.

The Just For Laughs Comedy Conference runs July 28 to 30 in Montreal, with networking and industry development events throughout. Details can be found at www.hahaha.com/conference.
