SUMMARY:Dara Ó Briain: So … Where Were We?
DESCRIPTION:The generally excellent comedian (and writer\, amateur astronomer\, astrophotographer) is back on tour\, and this gig falls right in the middle of another massive stint on the road. Apparently though he likes touring\, and he enjoys appearing in front of a new crowd every couple of days; certainly his last tour (180 shows!) never showed any signs of flagging. \nHe’s known for hosting TV shows like Mock The Week (for 17 years!) but he’s also good on quirky travel (Three Men in a Boat\, Dara and Ed’s Great Big Adventure) and is brilliant at the accessible-science stuff (Dara Ó Briain ‘s Science Club\, Stargazing Live\, Dara Ó Briain Meets Stephen Hawking – yes\, really). But he also delivers a good fast-paced standup show\, full of sharp wit\, acute observation\, and a mix of stories and one-liners\, characteristically tripping over his words by talking too quickly “because he’s so giddy to be back in front of a crowd”. If you’re lucky there may be a bit of politics on the side (but never too much). \n“One of the most dependably entertaining stand-up comics in the land” said The Times; “O Briain has a laser eye for the absurd and the spurious” said The Guardian. This show\, part of the Dubai Comedy Festival\, is highly recommended.

SUMMARY:Atsuko\, Beth\, and Rachel
DESCRIPTION:They are three of the best female American standups around at the moment – Atsuko Okatsuka\, Beth Stelling\, and Rachel Feinstein. LA-based Atsuko Okatsuka was named one of Variety‘s Top 10 Comics to Watch in 2022; born in Taiwan to Japanese and Taiwanese parents\, she moved to the States at age 10 and lived undocumented for seven years. That informs a lot of her comedy\, but it’s not at all heavy – she notably performed a stand-up set in Pasadena during an earthquake in 2019 and was commended for keeping the show going and the audience calm while the quake went on. \nRachel Feinsten\, another of Variety’s 10 Comics to Watch for 2022 and another finalist on Season 7 of Last Comic Standing\, is good at European-style racy comedy. She played herself as a comedian in the underrated 2015 Stephan Littger feature film Her Composition and has also appeared in Crashing. \nBeth Stelling\, once from Chicago but also from LA now\, has performed in the Netflix series The Standups and served as a writer for the hit HBO TV series Crashing. Stelling has released two comedy albums and was one of the finalists on Season 7 of Last Comic Standing. All three of these acts are good\, but Stelling probably gets magpie’s vote: she’s sharp\, even when she’s expounding the differences between men and women: you haven’t heard her take on what you might assume to be a somewhat hackneyed trope … \nThe show is hosted by NeNe Leakes\, actress\, presenter\, businesswoman\, author\, fashion designer and American TV personality (Real Housewives of Atlanta). \nThis show is part of the Dubai Comedy Festival.
