SUMMARY:The Laughter Factory Premium Comedy Club
DESCRIPTION:Last gig for this month’s Laughter Factory tour: \nRory O’Hanlon The Irish comedian is a firm favourite at the Fringe\, thanks to his rapid-fire delivery – “a joke every 30 seconds” calculated the Irish Times. Highly recommended. \nDarius Davies Definitely one of the most underrated comedians on the circuit: “supercharged\, and charismatic” said Chortle. We don’t think he’s actually at the Fringe this year\, but he was the best reviewed comedian there in 2021 … \nTABARAK A winner of the Short & Sweet Comedy Festival\, Espana Comedy Games and Beat The Camel\, Born in Karachi but living now in Dubai\, he’s a good observational comic with spot-on delivery. \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Laughter Factory: ‘Extermination Boredom!’ Tour
DESCRIPTION:The Laughter Factory says it is flying in “three of the best live stand-up comedians that are currently touring the world”\, though since one of them already lives here presumably that’s humorous hyperbole. On the bill are American-Egyptian Maria Shehata\, making her debut in Dubai and trailing a CV that includes Comedy Central shows and some writing credits (“she is quite comfortable performing in a 15\,000 seater venue so it will be lovely to see her up close and personal in an intimate room”); Dimitri Bakinov\, another Dubai newbie and given to black humour (“darker than a trip down an abandoned coal mine\, with a broken torch”); and Abz Ali\, “the funniest Emirati you will ever come across”. \nThe tour moves on to the Movenpick JBR for 8th and 9th March. \n

SUMMARY:Laughter Factory: 'The Good\, the Bad and the Filthy' Tour
DESCRIPTION:The final gig for the November standups – Kate Barron from Canada (“after a lifetime of being told she is too big\, too loud and too vulgar\, by everyone from strangers to teachers\, she decided to step on stage and start wearing those labels as badges of honour. Kate doesn’t do self-deprecating”); Irishman Paddy Lennox (“engaging\, witty\, entertaining” says a magpie staffer: “the sort of comedy that makes you wish the show was just a little bit longer”); and the excellent Liz Bains\, a semi-finalist in the 2023 UK Funny Women Awards.

SUMMARY:Laughter Factory: “Menace To Society” Tour
DESCRIPTION:Last gig of the latest Laughter Factory tour – Dana Alexander (originally from Canada\, now based there and in the UK) tours a lot and has been a hit in Dubai before; her style has been described as “smart\, irreverent and revolutionary” which bodes well. Jimmy Mcghie is another hard-working international tourer\, whose 2017 Edinburgh Festival Fringe show was reviewed in the Scotsman as “one of the most accomplished hours of comedy you will find here this month. Or\, to be honest\, anywhere\, any time …” If loose Women was more outrageous\, Dubai’s very own Bronwyn Byrnes would be a regular – we’re promised “a hilarious journey of life in Dubai”. Also UAE-based is Miqdaad Dohadwala\, who founded the comedy collective VDesi Laughs and has been seen regularly at gigs in Dubai.

SUMMARY:Selfdrive Laughter Factory: The ‘Sweety Darling’ Tour
DESCRIPTION:Last chance to catch three good standups (two British\, one American) on the latest Laughter Factory tour: \nJack Gleadow – energetic and quirky performances that feature a mix of physical comedy\, witty storytelling\, and audience interaction (“if you like Lee Evans you will love Jack Gleadow”). \nKaren Rontowski – quirky\, fast-paced\, “charmingly optimistic” \nDane Baptiste – one of the most popular acts to ever appear on Live at the Apollo. Self-effacing and direct\, masterfully crafted set\, “observational comedy at its finest”. Highly recommended.
