Comedy Night at Ting Irie Abu Dhabi is one of the capital's best-kept stand-up secrets. Every alternate Thursday, 8pm-11pm, UAE's top comedians take the stage at our beachfront lounge in Mamsha Al Saadiyat. AED 95 gets you the show, 2 drinks, and a bowl of our crispy plantain chips — followed by a DJ set to close out the night.
Wah gwaan, funny people! If you love live comedy, weeknight vibes, and a proper island backdrop, this is your Thursday. Comedians who've cut their teeth at clubs across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and beyond come to Ting Irie Pon Di Beach to try new material, hone their sets, and make you laugh until your Caribbean cocktail comes out your nose.
Book Your Table
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.
