If you’re in the mood for a fun night out filled with laughter with your mates, this one’s for you.
The Laughter Factory has announced their April line-up, and it’s a hilarious tri-factor of stand up comedians.
Throughout April and May, Daliso Chaponda, Dana Alexander, and George Zach will headline the popular comedy nights across Dubai, with the three comedians sure to have you laughing the night away.
Daliso Chaponda shot to fame on Britain’s Got Talent in 2017 and even had an otherwise grumpy, Simon Cowell laughing. He also earned himself the golden buzzer, which means he shot right through to the final round of the competition. You can check out that video below:

The Malawian stand-up comedian has over 100 million views of his performances on Facebook and Youtube and has performed around the world and at the Edinburgh, Melbourne, Singapore, and Cape Town comedy festivals.
Dana Alexander began her career at the age of 18. Her smart comedy style earned her her own half-hour comedy special on Stand-up show Comedy Now, Canadian comedy television series. Dana draws her material from raw life experience with an original and hilarious outlook.
The Greek comedian’s original plans included Biochemistry, but when George Zach learned that lab life wasn’t for him, he ended up getting into stand up comedy. He has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival five times and even appeared at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2015. His comedic career has seen him firmly established in the UK and Australian comedy circuits, but he has also performed in Spain, The Netherlands, Greece, Germany, and Hong Kong and has supported Luisa Omielan and Sophie Willan on their UK tours.
