Weird timing for this, but here we are…
Today, Montreal-based comedy festival Just For Laughs unveiled the concept and lineup for their first-ever curated travel experience, Just For Laughs Escapes – Cancun, taking place Nov. 3-7, 2021. Collaborating with leading travel company Pollen Presents, Just For Laughs will be taking over Barcelo Maya Grand Resorts, creating a premier experience of top-tier comedic programming, featuring stand-up comedy, interactive events, bespoke activities, pool parties, club nights, all-inclusive amenities and more with fans from around the world. This new project welcomes fans to experience star-studded stand-up comedy and comedy podcasts in sunnier and more exotic destinations.
Just For Laughs Escapes – Cancun will feature performances by Jim Jefferies, Tom Segura, Nikki Glaser, Steve-O, Nicole Byer, Jay Pharoah, Girls Gotta Eat, Donnell Rawlings, Ron Funches, Debra DiGiovanni, the Goddamn Comedy Jam and more! Programming includes solo/headlining shows, multi-comic shows, Q&As, podcast recordings, exclusive VIP events and more.
Travel packages include five-star luxury accommodations, full JFL hotel takeover, and gourmet food and drink, plus access to stand-up comedy sets, live podcast recordings, and late-night events. Early bird packages start at $859 USD.

Great question, Brian! The packages are all through Pollen, which directs you here: https://pollen.co/x/justforlaughs-cancun-2021-1#packages and the Just For Laughs page for the Cancun fest, https://www.hahaha.com/en/shows/just-laughs-escapes-cancun, also redirects you to Pollen.
I have yet to see any information for tickets that can be purchased outside of a vacation package. Hmmm. Here is Pollen’s support email, though: support.us@pollen.co
Good luck! Please let me know if they tell you anything good!
