The story

Dubai Comedy Festival in Dubai

Dubai Comedy Festival runs across four venues, Coca-Cola Arena, Dubai Opera, New Covent Garden Theatre and Pepperoni Comedy Club, over roughly ten days each autumn, mixing arena-scale headline comedians with intimate club sets in English, Arabic and Hindi, now in its seventh consecutive year of bringing global touring acts to the region.

Four separate venues, an arena, an opera house, a theatre and a dedicated comedy club, host a single festival's line-up over roughly ten days, giving Dubai Comedy Festival a spread of room sizes that most stand-up festivals do not attempt.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Spreading a single festival's programme across four venues of dramatically different scale, an arena, an opera house, a theatre and a club, lets Dubai Comedy Festival offer both stadium-scale headline shows and intimate late-night sets within the same week, a range unusual for a stand-up comedy festival

02

The mystery stays covered

Running sets in English, Arabic and Hindi across different acts, rather than a single festival language, also gives it a genuinely multilingual programme that most touring comedy festivals do not attempt
