After four recent sold-out shows with standing ovations every night, the outrageous comedy sensation is back for one special weekend at Theatre by QE2 – with performances on Friday, July 5th, and Saturday, July 6th.

This must-see event for theatre enthusiasts and lovers of creative expression offers a unique experience in Dubai’s theatre scene. Described as a “cardboard comedy,” the play revolves around a man in a three-piece suit fishing in the plains of the Great North when an accidental encounter with a mermaid changes his destiny. He embarks on an enigmatic and crazy journey narrated entirely with cardboard artistry.

 

Originally created by top French comedians Pierre Guillois and Olivier Martin-Salvan, the 2022 Moliere Award-winning show was a smash hit at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2023, where it received glowing 5-star reviews and played to sold-out audiences.

“The Ice Hole – A Cardboard Comedy” is now brought to life in Dubai by popular comedians and actors Sadiq Saboowala and Patrick Albrecht, two-time winners of the local Short + Sweet Dubai Theatre Festival.

Prepare to be blown away by the magic of theatre presented by Complices Theatre, Outside the Box Events, and Alex Broun. Audiences have been raving about the quality of the show:

  • “It’s absolutely nuts!!! Crazy as crazy comes. The performance and execution are top-notch! 5 STARS”
  • “This was the best show I’ve ever seen in Dubai. It was creative, engaging, and hilarious. It is very exciting to know that work of this caliber can be done in Dubai. Phenomenal. 5 STARS”
  • “One of the funniest, most creative theatre performances I’ve seen EVER, and not just in Dubai. 5 STARS”
 

The production, which debuted to four sold-out performances in May, returns for a limited engagement with two performances at Theatre by QE2 on July 5th and 6th. Don’t miss this unique and fascinating production that has captivated audiences with its creativity and humor. Secure your tickets now for a theatrical experience like no other!
