Mo Gilligan plays Dubai Opera on 12 October for Dubai Comedy Festival

British comedian Mo Gilligan brings his stand-up show to Dubai Opera on Monday 12 October 2026, as part of Dubai Comedy Festival. The show starts at 6.30pm in the main auditorium, according to the venue's listing.

Tickets start at Dh250 and are sold through Platinumlist. The show is part of his The Mo You Know world tour and runs for about 90 minutes, with doors opening 30 minutes before the start.

The show is for ages 16 and over, and anyone under 18 must come with an adult. Dubai Opera notes that the night is presented by the festival as an outside promoter, not by the venue itself.

Gilligan spoke to Gulf News and FACT this week ahead of the date, telling Gulf News about his impressions of Dubai on earlier visits.
