Get ready for comedic superstars in the capital.
Get ready to witness history in the making as Abu Dhabi gears up to host its very first comedy festival. Set to take place on Yas Island, it’s already shaping up to be an event to remember. And now two heavyweight comedians — Chris Tucker and Andrew Schulz — have been added to the line-up.
Chris Tucker is known for his roles in the Rush Hour movie series and his impeccable comedic timing. From his early days on Def Comedy Jam to his stellar performances in blockbuster hits like Friday and The Fifth Element, Tucker’s journey to stardom has been nothing short of legendary. Taking the late show spot on 25 May at the Etihad Arena, he’s going to leave the audience in splits with his boundless energy and sharp wit.
Known for his unfiltered humour and fearless exploration of taboo topics, Andrew Schulz is a force to be reckoned with in the comedy world. From selling out Radio City Music Hall to his wildly popular Netflix special Schulz Saves America, he’s proven time and again that he’s a comedic powerhouse. Plus, his show in the capital back in October 2023 proves that he’s got tons of fans in the region. And now, he’ll be taking up the stage at Etihad Arena once again, on 22 May.
Abu Dhabi Comedy Week promises a week-long celebration of laughter. For comedy enthusiasts across the UAE and beyond, this inaugural edition of Abu Dhabi Comedy Week represents a long-awaited opportunity to experience world-class humour, featuring comedic legends like Aziz Ansari and Tom Segura. From 18 to 26 May, Yas Island will be buzzing with comedy shows guaranteed to tickle your funny bone.
