Prepare for an evening packed with sharp wit, dark humour, and non-stop laughter as British-Irish comedy star Jimmy Carr makes his return to Dubai.
After selling out his Abu Dhabi show earlier this year, he’s heading back to the UAE with his latest tour, Laughs Funny, set to take place at Dubai Opera on Saturday, February 21, 2026.
Returning to the UAE stage:
This won’t be Carr’s first Dubai appearance. In 2020, he performed three consecutive sold-out shows after the initial dates were snapped up within 24 hours. He last entertained Dubai audiences during the 2023 Dubai Comedy Festival, and his upcoming 2026 performance is gearing up to be his biggest one here yet.
A comedy legend:
Jimmy Carr, the comedian kicked off his career in 1997 and quickly rose to prominence as one of the UK’s most distinctive comedic voices. He’s fronted popular TV programmes including 8 Out of 10 Cats, The Big Fat Quiz of the Year, and Amazon Prime’s LOL: Last One Laughing UK. With three Netflix specials and countless sold-out shows worldwide, Carr has become a global comedy favourite.
What the audience can look forward to:
Jimmy Carr’s signature style is unmistakable, razor-sharp one-liners, dark jokes delivered with perfect timing, and of course, that iconic laugh. His performances blend prepared material with spontaneous crowd interaction, making every show feel unique. Fans can expect quick comebacks, unexpected twists, and plenty of moments that leave the audience in stitches from start to finish.
