A new lineup of comedians is set to deliver big laughs, along with after-parties across the UAE.
Dubai: If your social calendar needs an upgrade, The Laughter Factory is back this April with a strong lineup.
The UAE’s longest-running comedy club returns this month, headlined by South African stand-up Robby Collins. Known for his sharp storytelling and effortless stage presence, Collins has built an impressive career in African comedy, having opened for Dave Chappelle and Trevor Noah, performed at the Just For Laughs Festival, and earned multiple Comics Choice Awards, including Comedian of the Year.
His Netflix special Only Jokes Allowed introduced his fearless observational humour to global audiences, while his recent show Come As You Are won Best Solo Show at the Savanna Comics Choice Awards in 2025. He promises big laughs, strong personality, and no filter.
Meet the rest of the bill
Joining Collins is Valentina Danubio, who transforms everyday chaos into comedy gold. Drawing from motherhood, post-baby body struggles, Dubai life, and job hunting, she blends real-life experiences with sharp humour and a touch of music.
Making his Laughter Factory debut is Northern English comedian John Hague, who brings grounded, relatable humour paired with high-energy punchlines. Completing the lineup is poet and storyteller Viswajit Dilip, who combines humour and narrative for a distinctive comedic style.
After the curtain call
The fun doesn’t end when the show wraps up. Stay on after the final set for The Laughter Factory’s signature after-party, where comedians and audiences come together and the laughter continues.
