One of the hottest comedy nights in the UK among the Arab community and beyond, Arts Canteen’s “Arabs Are Not Funny” will take place on 6th of July 2018 at the Dubai Opera.

Some of the funniest comedians with Arab roots, take to the stage in a line-up featuring Welsh-Egyptian comic Omar Hamdi, along with Prince Abdi, Karim Duval – who is probably the only French comic with an Asian face who speaks Arabic, as well as award-winning Lebanese-British comic Esther Manito.

Omar Hamdi lands in Dubai fresh from his British Academy Award-winning BBC One programme and shows at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall and New York’s world-famous Gotham Comedy Club.

Prince Abdi is a British standup comedian/Actor/Writer. His versatile and unique storytelling makes him a feel-good comedian and one to watch.

Esther Manito is an established British-Lebanese comedian, who burst onto the stand-up circuit in 2016.

Karim Duval is a Sino-French-Moroccan comedian, who left his job as a manager in a big company to do stand-up.

Do not miss this incredible line-up is a guaranteed laughter marathon.
