Comedy Entertainment Dubai

Comedy Entertainment is alway a big hit. If you want to entertain your guests and present them with an evening of high quality entertainment then a variety of comedians is the right way to go. You want to deliver over and above expectations. You want something different to the usual routine, drinks, dinner, band, home! It has become a little dated and we believe that with a little creativity we can bring far better events to your guests.

Recently we have noticed our clients are looking for something less ordinary, particularly awards ceremonies and corporate events. Comedians can add a flare of character to the awards and bring a light hearted atmosphere to something that can occasionally be a work chore! We suggest hosting your very own exclusive comedy night and invite staff, clients, suppliers and anybody you feel you want to impress with an evening of comedy entertainment.

There seems to be a growing trend moving away from the old format of corporate events. Creative companies and forward thinking bosses are asking us to put together some ideas and more often than not they want to lose the formalities and host a more casual evening that will be remembered. A mixed bill of comedy entertainment has become popular in Dubai and this has shaken up the traditional format a little. More and more are asking us to put these together and we’re happy to say we have not had an unsuccessful one yet.

Dinner and reception is out and the comedy entertainment becomes the core of the night. As mentioned this can include awards or other important information but instead of boring your audience with speeches and extra work info, we suggest a format that spreads brings it into a more fun environment. Almost like being at a night in the Apollo with some work included!

The sit down meal becomes a more casual, street food style environment. We can bring the street food to your venue. Many times its more tasty than the 5 star dinner and the lack of comfort in a formal evening makes it more difficult to get the best from your event. It becomes a more casual evening to network and enjoy work colleagues, clients and suppliers.

Yes, this does mean committing your evening to a full package of comedy entertainment but we can mix it up. You can put your entire budget into one big name, we can bring names as big as Michael McIntyre, John Bishop, Kevin Bridges, Omid Djilali or we can spread it across a wide variety of comedy acts and styles to guarantee something for everyone. Some like dark comedy, some are more into the silly comedy and of course we love the clever one liners! Two, three or even four comedians with a fantastic host MC will deliver an unforgettable evening of comedy entertainment.

Your guests are the main concern and they need to be involved from the get-go. We will discuss your requirements in full, talk about your audience and guest profile. Then we can make some informed suggestions on who will work best for your event. We will work with your budget and bring comedians from overseas or locally so we don’t need the costs of flights and hotels.

Character Actors for Events

Character actors, event paparazzi, fake security, little people for events (dwarf characters), the new trend for events in Dubai. Contact us today to discuss your thoughts and character actor requirements.

Dubai Party Bands strive to be at the forefront of event entertainment. We provide “on trend” entertainment for events and work hard to stay on top of this. As with every industry, trends change, new additions come along and old ones disappear. On a weekly and sometimes daily basis we are meeting with new entertainers, new acts, the next big thing or the next trendy performance that is going to take the corporate entertainment and event industry by storm.

Experience over many years and knowledge of our corporate event market has given us the best insight into what will work best for our event clients. We meet with acts, discuss their performance, vet their entertainment ability, check out their performance and then decide whether we should add them to our entertainment roster or not. Some are good enough and unfortunately some are not! We are working for our clients to ensure the best in entertainment.

Recently we have been approached by many character actors and we feel they can add great value to events. If you want event paparazzi to wow guests on arrival, fake security to search guests as CIA agents, Russian spies for a James Bond theme night, football hooligans, fake loud American cousins or even a drunk waiter, these are all potential options for our character actors. The options are really only limited by your imagination and our new characters have acting backgrounds so you know they can deliver an epic performance.

Above are some suggestions but we can supply character actors, look-a-likes and pretty much any character you require. If you can imagine it and its not an unrealistic costume or request then we can ensure delivery of a high standard character actor for your event.

 

 


Harlem Globetrotters

In 1926, in Chicago, a 24-year-old businessman named Abe Saperstein formed a small basketball team called the Savoy Big Five. He was just trying to promote a nightclub called the Savoy Ballroom, but in just a few years the team had played over 1000 games around the country and become the Harlem Globetrotters.

In 1941, the Globetrotters signed Reece “Goose” Tatum, an all-time great who developed amazing comedy moves and changed the direction of the team.

Twenty years after their inception, the Globetrotters had played 3,000 games and were featured on the cover of Life magazine. Those were remarkable achievements at a time when America was deeply segregated by race.

The team toured the world, breaking cultural and social barriers along with basketball records. They were the first team to play basketball in Europe. In 1950, Globetrotter Nathaniel “Sweetwater” Clifton became the first African-American player to sign an NBA contract.

In 1959, during the Cold War, the Globetrotters went on a sold-out tour of the Soviet Union.  The also had an audience with Pope John XXIII and posted their first undefeated season, with an astonishing 441 wins.

Throughout their history, the Original Harlem Globetrotters have showcased their iconic talents in 120 countries and territories on six continents, often breaking down cultural and societal barriers while providing fans with their first-ever basketball experience. Proud inductees of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, the Globetrotters have entertained hundreds of millions of fans—among them popes, kings, queens, and presidents.

The line-up has included some of the greatest players ever, including Wilt Chamberlain, Marques Haynes, Curly Neal, and Connie Hawkins, just to name a few, and they have appeared in their own movies and TV shows.

The Harlem Globetrotters continue a world famous tradition of ball handling wizardry, basketball artistry, and one-of-a-kind family entertainment that continues to thrill fans of all ages.

Select dates are available for 2017.


Paddyman Irish Entertainment, No. 1 in UAE

We are delighted to announce that Paddyman Irish Entertainment, the number 1 Irish entertainer across the Middle East has joined Dubai Party Bands for bookings.

A full time Irish entertainer based in Dubai, UAE. Paddyman performs a mix of high energy music with a variety of instruments with some comedy jokes, stories and funny songs. He has shared the same stage as other notable Irish acts such as The Saw Doctors, Sharon Corr and Sharron Shannon.

The name PADDYMAN came about as a result of wanting to perform some funny songs as part of his act. He wanted to visually differentiate this from the singalong Irish & high energy dance songs he performs. Paddyman was also conscious of ways he could reduce the risk of possibly unintentionally offending people in the audience in Dubai and UAE in particular with some of the songs. Therefore, he started wearing a leprechaun hat & beard for these parts of the act. This immediately became very popular as people could clearly see that he was about to perform some funny material and they listened! The comedy jokes and parodies that he has performed have since become his trademark and Paddyman Irish Entertainment continues to grow that part of the show.

He performs weekly at the largest bar in the Middle East, Barasti Beach Bar, the #1 Real Irish Bar, Fibber Magees, and #1 Irish Bar in Abu Dhabi, PJ O’Reilly’s. Besides these he regularly performs for weddings, corporate events, private parties, festivals & in Irish bars all over the world, (From Hong Kong & Bahrain to Ireland & Canada)
