Don’t Miss the Punchline!

World Famous Comedy Club Returns

Be prepared to laugh until your sides split as Urban Events brings back world class comedy to the UAE this June. Yes! The famous Punchline Comedy Club is returning to the region with a top quality line-up of some of the most hilarious internationally successful comedians.




From a start that hit the Hong Kong entertainment scene in 1994, the Punchline Comedy Club has been enthralling audiences with top international comedians such as Michael McIntyre, Bill Bailey and Russell Peters to name a few. Live performances have reached major locations including Shanghai, Bangkok, Melbourne, Singapore, Tokyo and Vietnam... and, of course, Dubai and Abu Dhabi!

The Punchline Comedy Club Middle East will feature three sharp-witted comedians in its exciting June line-up; Owen O’Neill, Tim Clark and Eddie Brimson.

Owen O’Neill is a comedian, writer and actor. Since performing on SATURDAY LIVE in 1986, he has performed on numerous TV shows including JUST FOR LAUGHS at the Montreal Comedy Festival for Channel Four and his own stand-up special for the BBC. Owen has performed all over the world and is a regular at the London COMEDY STORE. He hosted and co-wrote SOMETHING FOR THE WEEKEND for BBC Northern Ireland, a Friday night chat show with music and sketches including Joanna Lumley, Roger Lloyd Pack and Lionel Blair. His writing for the theatre includes PATRICK’S DAY, which won the Edinburgh Critics Award for Best Comedy.
 
With his quick wit and affable nature, Tim Clark made an instant impact when he appeared as co-host of the first series of UNDER THE MOON, a live interactive sports programme for Channel 4. Tim also appeared regularly with Danny Baker on Radio 5’s Morning Edition, Radio 1’s Loose Talk and was a contributor on BBC2’s FANTASY FOOTBALL. Tim is now the premier compere at Jongleurs and the Comedy Store.  He has toured with Frank Skinner and performed extensively in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Tim is taking his new show, TALKING TO TED, up to the Edinburgh Festival this year.  His previews have already received high acclaim.

Eddy Brimson has established himself as one of the UK live circuits most in demand headline acts. He works regularly for all the leading agencies and is one of the most requested comedians on the Jongleurs roster. In Australia, he performed at the Sydney Cracker Festival and he also played the first ever Altitude Festival in the French Alps. As a presenter, Eddy is also a regular talking head on TV programmes such as I PREDICT A RIOT, 100 WORST SINGLES and the BRITAIN’S TOUGHEST SERIES. He has appeared on television in many different guises in ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS, THE THIN BLUE LINE, THE BILL, SILENT WITNESS and CASUALTY.
