Running until 21 April, this 10-day festival guarantees endless laughter in Dubai, featuring an impressive lineup packed with comedic talent. Now joining the festival are Katherine Ryan, the famous Canadian comedian, and Laughtrip, a popular troupe from the Filipino comedy scene led by Alex Calleja.
Katherine Ryan, a versatile talent known for her skills as a comedian, writer, presenter, actress, and singer, is set to make her Dubai debut at the festival. Scheduled to perform on 12 April at the Dubai Opera Main Hall, Ryan's sharp and witty comedy style, often likened to the legendary Joan Rivers, has earned her widespread acclaim and a devoted fan following worldwide. A familiar face on British TV and radio panel shows, including her role as a regular team captain on '8 Out of 10 Cats', Katherine Ryan has graced stages like the BBC's Live at the Apollo and released two successful Netflix specials, 'In Trouble' in 2017 and 'Glitter Room' in 2019.
Laughtrip is a comedy group including Alex Calleja, Israel Buenaobra, Jeps Gallon, and Mak Navarez, all prominent figures in the Filipino comedy circuit. With Alex's relatable humour, Israel's incisive observations, Mak's edgy comedy, and Jeps' animated performances, their show promises an evening of laughter and authenticity. Presented by Hollywood Pop-Up Entertainment, this event on 13 April at Dubai Opera Main Hall guarantees an unforgettable night filled with humour and genuine entertainment.
