Clear Your Calendar: Mo Amer Takes Over Dubai Opera This October

Get ready, Dubai — your favorite funny guy is back. Mo Amer, the wildly hilarious, brutally honest, and ridiculously relatable comedian we all love, is returning to Dubai Comedy Festival 2025 — and he’s bringing the heat with two exclusive shows at Dubai Opera on October 9th.

If you’ve binge-watched MO on Netflix (guilty), or screamed laughing through his specials (The Vagabond still lives rent-free in our heads), then this is your sign to grab those tickets ASAP.

It’s been five years since Mo Amer’s Dubai Comedy Festival debut, and let’s just say… a lot has happened. He became a Netflix darling with a semi-autobiographical series (MO, duh), starred in Black Adam, delivered a masterclass on identity, family, and fame through stand-up, and oh — became a dad.

Now? He’s bringing fresh, unfiltered material to Dubai that dives deep into new-dad chaos, Arab diaspora realness, and the weirdness of fame — all wrapped in his signature style: raw, hilarious, and full of heart.

The setting? Dubai Opera. The vibe? Intimate AF. The energy? Off the charts.

An Unmissable Line-Up of LOLs

This year’s Dubai Comedy Festival is basically the Met Gala of stand-up: We’re talking Tom Segura, Zakir Khan, Joanne McNally, Omid Djalili, Morgan Jay, Akaash Singh, John Achkar, Redouane Bougheraba, Ivan Abramov, and so many more.
Multiple languages. Zero chill.

Produced by BRAG and powered by Dubai Calendar, the festival runs October 2–12, taking over iconic venues like Dubai Opera and Coca-Cola Arena. Whether you're into English, Arabic, Hindi, Russian or French comedy — there’s something for every brand of funny.
