Andrew Ryan headlines Laughter Factory March 2025 across 5 UAE venues

Irish comedian Andrew Ryan headlines The Laughter Factory's March tour with five shows across Dubai and RAK. The Cork native brings 38 million online views and sold-out European tours, supported by Dubai's Yash Bhardwaj and Lebanese star Rula Korban.

The Laughter Factory returns this March with one of Ireland's most in-demand comedy talents leading the charge. Cork native Andrew Ryan will headline five shows across Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah from March 6th-14th, 2025, supported by acclaimed comedians Yash Bhardwaj and Rula Korban.

What to expect from Andrew Ryan

Andrew Ryan brings serious comedy credentials to the UAE stage. The Cork comedian has released two comedy specials, completed sold-out tours across Ireland, the UK, and Europe, and racked up over 38 million online views. His TV appearances span BBC, ITV, Comedy Central, and Virgin Media, where he's known for blending warm Irish storytelling with sharp, well-crafted jokes.

"Charming, hilarious with some really powerful thinking underneath," praised The Metro, while The Mirror noted his material is "well paced, well written, delivers plenty of laughs." Ryan's stage presence combines effortless charm with brilliantly observed humour, earning him recognition as one of Ireland's top comedy exports.

Supporting lineup brings international flavour

Joining Ryan is a diverse supporting cast that reflects the UAE's international community. Yash Bhardwaj, the Indian comic and actor behind Dubai's Flamingo Live comedy club, brings his acclaimed specials 'Brown Under' and 'The Expat of Arabia' – both of which sold out multiple runs at Adelaide Fringe Festival. He's won regional competitions, including Beat the Camel and Comedy World Cup, twice.

Lebanese comedian Rula Korban rounds out the trio, performing in both English and Arabic. She wrote and starred in her own satire show 'Rajwa' on MTV-Lebanon and co-founded the viral online satire 'Shroud w Tahwaji.' Her colourful life journey provides endless inspiration for her unique worldview on stage.

Five shows across Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah

The March tour spans five venues across the emirates, giving comedy fans multiple chances to catch the show:

March 6th – MEZZ The Agenda, Dubai Media City (8:30pm)
March 7th – Studio One Hotel, Dubai (8:30pm)
March 12th – The Bay, Al Hamra Golf Club, Ras Al Khaimah (8pm)
March 13th – Radisson DAMAC Hills (8:30pm)
March 14th – Dukes The Palm, Dubai (8:30pm)

Dubai's comedy scene continues to grow, with events like the Dubai Comedy Festival showcasing both international and regional talent throughout the year.

After-parties extend the laughter

True to The Laughter Factory's tradition, each show concludes with the much-loved after-parties where comedians and audience members mingle. These informal gatherings allow fans to chat about the set, meet the performers, and keep the laughter going well into the evening – a signature touch that's helped establish The Laughter Factory as the UAE's longest-running comedy club since 1997.
