UAE comedy institution The Laughter Factory returns with three stellar comics including Eleanor Tiernan, Marlon Davis and Michael Fabbri in March 2018.
And to mark International Women's Day on 8 March, is offering ALL pregnant women an evening of FREE laughs at all shows.
Research has proved that a child's personality can be shaped by the health and mood of the mother.
Laughing, meanwhile, does a world of good, flooding the body with ‘happy chemicals’ that can be detected up to 24 hours later.
Which is why throughout March, The Laughter Factory is opening its doors for free to pregnant women because happy mums, make happy babies!
The trio will be kicking off the tour at Park Rotana Abu Dhabi on Wednesday 7 March; playing Grand Millennium Barsha Heights on Thursday 8 March and then onto Mövenpick Hotel Jumeirah Beach on Friday 9 March 2018.
Eleanor Tiernan
Irish Stand up comedian (and cousin to one of Ireland's most well known comics Tommy Tiernan) is a regular on the Irish and UK stand up circuit.
Eleanor is well known in Ireland from her court reports as Ursula McCarthy on RTE television's political satire show Irish Pictorial Weekly
‘I don't normally like female comedians, but you were funny,’ is often said to Eleanor Tiernan.
And her reply goes something like: ‘OK, not strictly speaking a question but something that gets said to me and others after shows and seems to expect some kind of a response.
'In truth, this statement has very little to do with me or any comedian it gets said to.
'The person is holding you responsible for causing a fight in their brain. Two conflicting pieces of information are battling for supremacy.
'The first statement or rule was pre-existing ie "All female comedians are not funny".
'The second is the evidence the comedian's hilarious performance has provided ("A woman was funny") which is in direct competition with the first.
'Both of these statements cannot be true.
'One has to go and the person must choose which.
'The discomfort of having to make this choice is what is being communicated to you. Obviously you can do nothing for them.
'There is a price to be paid for leading an unenlightened life. Any response to their statement would only interrupt them from paying it.
However sometimes, for mischief, I do try to convince them that either I am not female or that I wasn't funny!’
Marlon Davis
Lightening the load will be happy go lucky comedian Marlon Davis (Live At the Apollo, Comedy Central), who embraces his work with energy and charm, delivering his material with skillful observations.
Marlon is an absolute delight to watch particularly in a live venue, where we can really soak up all his wonderful, positive vibes.
Michael Fabbri
Record-breaking UK comic Micky Flanagan loved Michael Fabbri so much, he took him on tour with him.
Despite being a completely different style to Mickey, Michael Fabbri still drives home the same number for laughs per minute as any huge name comic.
Michael, Fabbri was described as “Exceptionally funny, extremely sharp, hugely enjoyable.” by The Scotsman.
We are looking forward to his return to The Laughter Factory he always gives us a great show.
