The Laughter Factory’s ‘Doggy Style’ Comedy Night Comes To The Strand
Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Get Ready! The Strand on Palm Jumeirah is about to make comedy history! On Wednesday, 15th October 2025, at 8:00 PM, the UAE’s best comedy showcase ‘The Laughter Factory’ is going to host the world’s first-ever, dog-friendly, live stand-up comedy event. That’s right, you can belly-laugh until your sides ache, while your four-legged, best friend, soaks up the happy vibes..
Flying in for this one-of-a-kind, paw-sitively hilarious night are some of the best comedic talents from around the globe. First up is Jimmy McGhie, the man Graham Norton calls when he needs an audience in stitches. Described by The Scotsman as ‘a brilliant talent,’ Jimmy’s globe-trotting comedy career has taken him from the Edinburgh Fringe to the Sydney Opera House and now, to a room full of dogs and their humans on the Palm. Then there’s Karen Bayley, the first-ever female winner of the legendary Comedy Store King Gong Award and a BBC New Comedy Award finalist. With her razor-sharp wit and charm, Karen’s humour cuts across all boundaries, she’s smart, clever and utterly unforgettable. Holding it down for the UAE is Tabarak, a local comedy powerhouse whose fearless, fast-paced punchlines have won him multiple titles, including the Short & Sweet Comedy Festival and Espana Comedy Games.
Tickets are just AED 185 and include a welcome drink on arrival because both you and your pooch deserve to start the night right. Delicious food and drinks will be available a la carte, and with extremely limited seating, this is one comedy night you will want to book faster than your dog can chase a tennis ball.
For over two decades, The Laughter Factory has delivered the UAE’s freshest line-ups of world-class comedians, from Russell Peters and Michael McIntyre to Sarah Millican and Kevin Bridges. Now they are taking things to a whole new level, or should we say, to a whole new leash?
