One of the events in Abu Dhabi that has been cancelled is this week’s Laughter Factory show starring Dominic Holland and two more stand-ups.
It was due to take place at the Park Rotana Abu Dhabi on Wednesday March 11, but the organisers have been asked to cancel the event.
However, ever the problem-solver, Laughter Factory founder Gail Clough has come up with a plan so comedy fans in the capital can still get their funny fix.
The remaining shows in Dubai are still going ahead and will take place on Thursday March 12 in Grand Millennium Barsha Heights and Friday March 13 at Dukes The Palm, A Royal Hideaway Hotel.
She says: “We hate the thought of our Abu Dhabi comedy family missing this month’s fun, so we’ve spoken to both hotels and organised a couple of cheeky staycation deals so our lovely regulars can come and have a laugh with us in Dubai.”
Tickets for the shows are Dhs160 and if you want to make the trip and stay over on Thursday it’s Dhs320 for a room for two at the Grand Millennium. There’s also a pre-show dinner and drinks package at the hotel’s Toshi between 7pm and 9pm for Dhs225 (or Dhs150 with soft drinks) or a drink and main course for Dhs99 at Belgian Café.
On Friday it’s Dhs599 for a room for two at beachside resort Dukes the Palm, where there’s also a pre-show dinner package for Dhs250 at 7pm at Great British Restaurant (Dhs150 for soft drinks).
Prices and locations vary. Mar 12-13. www.thelaughterfactory.com (050 878 6728).
