Renowned worldwide for his razor-sharp wit, deadpan delivery, and total lack of filter, British comedic legend Jimmy Carr is set to light up the stage at Dubai Opera once again.

Over two shows, audiences looking for a belly-laugh can expect a masterclass in rapid-fire stand-up, marked by Carr's trademark blend of dark observational humour, outrageous punchlines, and legendary audience interaction. Having built a massive international following, the comedian has also garnered an impressive regional following through multiple sold-out appearances in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, including memorable runs during the inaugural Riyadh Comedy Festival in October 2025, and several wildly successful performances in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi in recent years.
