SUMMARY:The Laughter Factory Standup Comedy Showcase
DESCRIPTION:The August Laughter Factory tour comes back to Dubai for its final two dates. There are four good acts: \nDimitri Bakanov is a UK-based half-Russian\, half-Ukrainian comedian who has gigged all over the world with a tight\, slick routine – “dark\, charming and never far from a quality punchline” as one notice put it \nRoman Harris started gigging six years ago and almost immediately got a spot on the British TV game show Supermarket  Sweep. His style mixes anecdotal and observational comedy with a quirky take on his personal life\, relationships and random experiences \nAsh Rose is well known to local audiences as the UAE’s only Stand-up Magician. His timing\, crowd work\, wit\, charm\, outrageously good looks and modesty all define him as a leader in his field (it says here) … \nNoha Bashir (“face of an angel\, mouth of a sailor”) is a rising star of the regional comedy scene who recently had successful tours in the UK and Egypt. A magpie favourite\, and highly recommended as one to watch \nThe final gig is 23 August @ Dukes The Palm.
