We’re set to start 2022 with plenty of laughs because US comedian Jim Gaffigan is coming to Abu Dhabi to perform a headline show at Etihad Arena on Yas Island on Friday January 21, 2022.
The start of 2021 didn’t exactly bring many giggles, but next year is already shaping up to be different thanks to the American comedian’s first performance in the UAE.

Gaffigan has been providing belly laughs for a long time, but this will be the first time people can have them in person with the comedian as he brings his hilarious signature take on observations on life to Abu Dhabi.
He needs no introduction to fans, considering Forbes put him on the top ten comedians’ list in 2019, he has six Grammy nominations and he’s a two-time New York Times best-selling author. Not to mention the countless times Gaffigan has made viewers laugh out loud with his monologues. Inspired by Saturday Night Live and fellow comedian David Letterman, Gaffigan recently became the first comedian to reach one billion streams on USA streaming service Pandora.
Ahead of his January 2022 headline show, fans can watch his eighth comedy special, which was recently released on Amazon Prime.
The one-night-only gig in the capital follows Gaffigan’s sold-out The Fun Tour, which is running in November and December across the USA. The Yas Island event is a collaboration between GME Events, the Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism and happening Yas Island.
Tickets start at Dhs195 for the headline performance are available now from etihadarena.ae, Platinum List, Virgin Tickets and Book My Show, and can be purchased in groups of 2s, 3s and 4s.
Looking to make the comedy event a staycation? Ticket packages, including a concert ticket and hotel stay, will be available soon. It goes without saying that LOL moments will be included with all admissions.
We can’t wait for a laugh.
