Nigel Ng Also Known As Uncle Roger Goes To Dubai For His Haiyaa Tour

Dates, timings, and all you need to know about Uncle Roger bringing his Haiyaa World Tour to Dubai

Better known by his Uncle Roger persona – Nigel Ng is finally bringing his Haiyya World Tour to Dubai!

The Malaysian stand-up comedian and content creator is best known for his scathing critiques of the perfect egg fried rice. In 2020, the London-based creator went viral for portraying Uncle Roger, a middle-aged Asian man reviewing an egg-fried rice video.

Tickets are now live to catch the massive YouTube sensation on 7 October at Dubai Opera, with the show starting at 9.30pm. And if you didn’t know this already, wearing his signature orange polo and sitting right up front will ensure you get roasted by Uncle Roger all right!

The self-proclaimed archnemesis of Jamie Oliver, Uncle Roger has amassed 250 million views on his YouTube channel and a combined following of over 8 million across all his social media platforms.

As a stand-up, Nigel has been nominated for the Best Newcomer Award for his sold-out show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2019 and sold out multiple runs throughout the UK and Europe. His TV credits include Comedy Central’s Stand Up Central and Roast Battle, BBC Two’s Mock the Week, and ITV’s Jonathan Ross Comedy Club.

Nigel also hosts Rice to Meet You, a hugely popular comedy podcast.

This is a night of roasts and politically incorrect giggles you don’t want to miss out on!
