The Time For Nonstop LOLs Is Here With Dubai Comedy Festival’s Insane Line-Up!

This is just what we needed after 2021.

Dubai Comedy Festival is back to bring the residents of the UAE some nonstop laughter across Dubai from May 12 – 22. Brace yourselves for a bit of a tummy workout because the headliner list is about to blow your mind!

The Comedy Festival will take place for 11 days with the world’s funniest men performing live, stand-up shows!

We all need comic relief after what has felt like years of continued stress, and living in the UAE thankfully provides us with that opportunity, left right and centre.

The hotspots of the multiple performances will take place across the Coca-Cola Arena, The Agenda, The Theater MOE, and more.
