We could all do with some extra laughs this year…
It’s time for some side-splitting, tear-inducing laughs as massive Dubai event, the Dubai Comedy Festival is returning to the city in May, 2021. It’s a ten day extravaganza full of belly-aching fun that is sure to lighten up any mood.
The festival will run from May 13 to 22, taking place at various locations across Dubai. From stand-up sets to variety shows, activations and plenty more, it will showcase some fantastic local and global comedians, with shows in several different languages.
The line-up for this year’s show has not yet been revealed but we’ll be sure to tell you when it does. Previous years’ Dubai Comedy Festivals saw performances from comedians such as India’s highest-selling Indian comedian Vir Das, as well as American comedy genius, Dave Chappelle.
