Pepperoni Comedy Club is turning one, and it’s bringing some big names along for the comedy night celebration
Dubai’s Pepperoni Comedy Club is turning one, and it’s going big for its first birthday. The comedy spot is swapping its intimate stage at 25 Jump Street for Dubai Opera, with a special comedy night featuring a line-up of comedians ready to bring the laughs on Saturday, October 17.
A birthday worth celebrating
Taking place as part of Dubai Comedy Festival 2026, the 90-minute anniversary show will see French comedy star Redouane Bougheraba, Dubai radio favourite Kris Fade and French comedian Nino Arial take to the stage. Abz Ali and Noha Bashir will host the evening, with performances in French and English. Doors open at 9pm, with the show starting at 9.30pm. Tickets start from Dhs175, with VIP seats available for Dhs550.
One year of laughs
Since opening at 25 Jump Street in late 2025, Pepperoni Comedy Club has become a spot for dinner, drinks and a good laugh, all under one roof. The venue features a 120-seat comedy room, an Italian-American diner and an outdoor terrace. Over the past year, it’s welcomed international names alongside emerging local talent, including sold-out performances by Bassem Youssef.
