Dubai Shopping Festival Comedy Shows

I just hosted the second Saturday night headliner show here in Dubai at the temporary set up called "The Comedy Cafe." It was a sold out show which topped last week's opening weekend where we drew in around 150. Last night we had more then 200 people and had to turn away 50.

I'm the house MC for 4 weeks, the first week had Dean Obeidallah and this last show had Sugar Sammy headlining. Sugar is a Montreal based comic who's real name isn't Sugar as far as I know. All I know about him after working with him twice is that he's Indian, Canadian, funny and we had a good time.

I'm looking most forward to next week the most because its the only show that has 3 comics, the way a show should be. We will have a couple buddies of mine from L.A. coming out that I love, Mike Batayeh and Peter the Persian. I have worked with both a lot but don't know Peter's actual name, pretty sure its not "the Persian."

I'm sure it will sell out again,...inshallah,.....
