WHEN?

Every alternate Thursday, 8:00 PM – 11:00 PM (check our Instagram @tingirieauh for the next confirmed date) Where: Ting Irie Pon Di Beach, Mamsha Al Saadiyat, Al Saadiyat Cultural District, Abu Dhabi Cover: AED 95 per person, includes 2 drinks + crispy plantain chips Booking: Reservations recommended — comedy nights sell out After the show: Resident DJ set until close

Located 5 minutes from Louvre Abu Dhabi and next door to Manarat Al Saadiyat — a perfect way to end a cultural day out. Free parking around the Mamsha promenade.

The Format: A curated lineup of 4-6 comedians — a mix of established regional acts and rising talent, hosted by a compère who keeps the energy up between sets. Sets range from clean prompt-based observational to sharper club-style — you'll get both across a single night.

The Vibe: Think intimate comedy club meets beachfront Caribbean lounge. Not a stadium, not a random open mic — a proper 60-90 seat room where the comedians can see every reaction and play with the crowd.

The Food & Drinks: Your cover includes 2 drinks from the Comedy Night specials list — cocktails, beer, or wine — plus a bowl of our signature crispy plantain chips. From there, order Jamaican tings from the full menu — jerk chicken bites, oxtail coco buns, and pepper shrimps make ideal comedy-night snacking.

After the Show: Our resident DJ takes over from 11pm with reggae, hip-hop and dancehall to keep the night going.

Good vibes, tasty food and lovely spirits - what else to enjoy the white sands of Soul Beach!? Fish wrap is nearly perfect!
Tristal was amazing, very friendly and attentive but not over baring. Great recommendations on my drink. The food was amazing, and the starter portion was huge. Thanks for a nice evening celebrating and quiet birthday in chilled atmosphere. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Food is excellent, however slightly overpriced. Drinks are interesting mixes of exotic juices, and you can always request a vergin option. The waiters are nice, but some of them are distant. Music is excellent, and the atmosphere is relaxing. You have what you are looking for at the end of the week.
The most delightful Caribbean restaurant I even went. So authentic spices and the dishes are flavorful and tasty. The ambience so Vibin and cool . Love the interior so lively . Service are outstanding and so well trained staff. It’s highly recommended
