Dubai Comedy Festival Comes to an End After 4 Jampacked Days of Laughs & Sold-Out Shows

The curtain has come down on this year’s Dubai Comedy Festival following an amazing four days of laughter-filled events in multiple hotspots across the city. Featuring a jampacked line-up of global comedic talent, including Gad Elmaleh, Michelle Wolf, Mo Amer, Ali Al Sayed, Nemr, Vir Das, Gaurav Kapoor, and Mina Liccione – Dubai Comedy Festival was a massive hit, with sell-out shows across all venues over the course of the event. 

Presented by Dubai Calendar and produced by BRAG, Live Nation and Dxb Live, in partnership with Dubai Opera, BookMyShow, Dubomedy, Virgin Radio Dubai, and Dubai 92, the extravaganza of laughs saw the city’s comedy fans descend upon Dubai Opera, Dubai World Trade Centre, The Theatre at Mall of the Emirates, and the Reel Drive-In Cinema for  hilarious stand-up sets, unforgettable shows, and comedy movie nights 

The event showcased Dubai’s ability to come together and host a hugely popular event, while still ensuring health and wellbeing of audiences and performers were safeguarded at all times, in the midst of current circumstances. 

As a result, organisers have wasted no time in announcing that Dubai Comedy Festival will be back, bigger and funnier than ever in May 2021, and every May thereafter, as it further establishes itself as a standout annual event in Dubai’s live entertainment calendar.   

Ahmed Al Khaja, Chief Executive Officer, Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE), commented: “The success of this year’s Dubai Comedy Festival is a true testament to Dubai’s collaborative spirit and collective ability to overcome current challenges in a safe and effective manner. We have shown that it is possible to restart the events industry and bring live events back to the city, while still adhering to public health guidelines and prioritising the safety and wellbeing of everyone involved.

“By working together to provide safe and enjoyable live environments for events to take place, we can continue to reiterate Dubai’s position as a global hub for comedy, setting the benchmark for responsibly organising different types of world class events. Plans are already well underway for next year’s Dubai Comedy Festival, and we look forward to carrying forward the legacy of this year’s instalment to ensure it becomes one of the region’s most highly anticipated events.”
