Whitney Cummings joins Abu Dhabi Comedy Season as the season’s first female comedian

Abu Dhabi Comedy Season has added another name to its lineup, with Whitney Cummings heading to Etihad Arena for an early show on 31 January 2027.

The American comedian, writer and podcaster will take to the stage earlier in the day, before British comedian Paul Smith performs later that evening.
