This double-header comedy night takes place on 6 October at Dubai Opera.
Dubai, here’s some news that will make you smile. The British comedians Joanna Lumley and Paul Chowdhry are coming to the city. The pair are scheduled to perform at Dubai Opera on 6 October, and tickets are available now.
Many will recognise Joanna Lumley for her iconic role as Patsy Stone in “Absolutely Fabulous.” However, Lumley’s illustrious career spans over four decades, showcasing her talents as an actress, author, activist, voiceover artist, model, and humanitarian. Her storytelling prowess makes the upcoming “Me & My Travels” show a highlight on Dubai’s events calendar.
On 6 October, Dubai Opera will host Lumley’s new show, where she will share eclectic adventures from around the globe, including never-before-heard stories. Later in the evening, she will be joined by friend and producer Clive Tulloh, who will pose questions submitted by the audience, offering a unique and intimate experience.
For those unfamiliar with Lumley’s earlier work, her breakout role as Purdey in “The New Avengers” came in 1976, following her start as a model and muse for Jean Muir in the swinging 60s London. Her portrayal of Patsy Stone in “Absolutely Fabulous” earned her two BAFTAs and established her as a top comedy actress. The beloved series, which spanned 25 years, concluded with “AbFab: The Movie” in 2016.
The evening will also feature actor and comedian Paul Chowdhry, who will take to the Dubai Opera stage on the same night. Chowdhry, the most successful British Indian stand-up comedian in history, brings his signature wit and versatility. His Family-Friendly Comedian tour saw three extensions due to overwhelming demand and received rave reviews, culminating in a sold-out run at the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He also made history as the first British Asian stand-up comedian to sell out Wembley Arena, with around 100,000 tickets sold throughout his tour.
In August 2019, Chowdhry’s stand-up special “Live Innit” became a global sensation on Amazon Prime, reaching audiences in over 200 countries.
Tickets for the show are now on sale now via Platinumlist and start at AED 195.
