We’re always up for a much-needed laugh when times are tough, and just because we can’t go out to see and great comedy show in the UAE doesn’t mean we can’t have the best come to us.
UAE’s BookMyShow is set to launch an all-new virtual stand-up comedy series fittingly named Ha Ha Ha-Bibi, co-curated with Comic On Nights, and it features original comedy from Asian star comedians.
Kicking off on Thursday May 28 from 8.30pm until 9.30pm, the weekly show will stream through video-app Zoom, with early bird tickets to each show priced at Dhs25.
Who’s up first? On Thursday, expect to laugh-out-loud with Vir Das, officially India’s highest-selling comedian. The comedy musician has starred in several Bollywood movies and performed over 1,000 stand-up comedy shows, 18 films, eight TV shows and six comedy specials (including on Netflix).
Next on Thursday June 4, renowned stand-up comedian and writer Jeeveshu Ahluwalia will be performing. Along with gathering up to 41 million views on YouTube, he’s performed 3,000 shows at the biggest clubs, colleges, auditoriums, and comedy festivals in India and beyond.
Who knew the ex-head of the Microsoft’s Xbox division could make a whole room laugh? Anshu Mor proved that to be true, and you can catch the up-and-coming Indian comedian on Thursday June 11.
Finally, on Thursday June 18, star comedian Amit Tandon will be on the virtual stage, and definitely worth the watch. Along with a stand-out performance on Netflix, Tandon has performed in 25 countries including USA, UK, Australia, Canada, the UAE and Singapore.
