Andrew Schulz brings his flagrant comedy to Dubai

The popular comedian promises a night of laughs like no other

 

Comedy is about to get a whole lot louder in Dubai, Andrew Schulz is coming to town, and he’s bringing his trademark razor-sharp wit, unapologetic style, and the same energy that made his Flagrant podcast one of the biggest comedy shows in the world.

For Schulz, comedy has always been about connection. His Flagrant podcast, co-hosted with Akaash Singh, Mark Gagnon, and AlexxMedia, has become a global sensation thanks to its unfiltered takes on culture, sports, and the messiness of life.

The podcast’s raw, no-holds-barred conversations have built him a fanbase that stretches far beyond New York, and Dubai is next in line to feel that energy in person.

But while podcasting keeps him close to home, and, importantly, lets him spend more time with his young daughter, Schulz says the stage is where he truly comes alive.

And for him, few places match the thrill of performing in the UAE. Ask Schulz why he keeps coming back, and he’s quick to point to the audience.

“They’re some of the most educated, sharpest crowds I’ve ever seen,” he says. “I can throw out a layered idea, an edgy punchline, or a callback, and they’re right there with me. They don’t just laugh, they understand it.”

That instant connection is what makes Dubai stand out in his global tour map — a place where comedy isn’t lost in translation but elevated by the audience’s wit and cultural awareness.

Of course, a Schulz show is never predictable. Beyond his rapid-fire jokes and crowd work, he’s hinted at special guests joining him on stage in Dubai, along with a few surprises designed to keep fans on their toes.

If you’ve listened to Flagrant, you know the rule: anything can happen.

So whether it’s a fellow comic dropping in, a wild twist mid-show, or a classic Schulz-style riff sparked by someone in the crowd, this is one night where you’ll want to be in the room.

This is set to be Andrew Schulz at his peak, blending the polished storytelling of a world-class stand-up with the raw chaos of his podcast persona.

Add in a Dubai crowd he loves, plus those teased surprises, and you’ve got the recipe for one of the city’s most talked-about comedy nights of the year.

AED 295. 7 October, Coca Cola Arena, Dubai. For further information, visit Ticketmaster
