The capital’s comedy calendar is getting an update as Abu Dhabi Comedy Season returns for its third edition, bringing some of the biggest names in stand-up to Etihad Arena, on Yas Island.

Morgan Jay

Morgan Jay is bringing his The Goofy Guy Tour to Abu Dhabi this October. The Los Angeles-based comedian has a knack for turning whatever happens in the room into part of the performance. He brings a fusion of comedy, live music and spontaneous audience interaction. So, don’t be surprised if your answer has him picking up his guitar and turning a simple conversation into a song right in front of you.

You’ll hear Mo Amer share stories from his own life, using humour to explore his journey as a refugee, the challenges of immigration and what it means to build a life between different worlds being born in Kuwait to Palestinian parents.

Maz Jobrani

Inspired by his Iranian heritage and life in America, he turns little misunderstandings, family expectations and the experience of navigating different cultures into stories that show how humour can bring different experiences together.
