After a short runs in July at the Junction and the QE2 and with standing ovations at every show, the outrageous comedy sensation "ICE HOLE A CARDBOARD COMEDY" is back this Autumn at Theatre by QE2 – with shows on Saturday 26th October at 8pm, Sunday 27th October at 3pm and Sunday 17th November at 3pm & 8pm.
This is a must-see event for theatre enthusiasts, in any language - and lovers of creative expression. Audiences in Dubai don’t often see theatre like this - a play filled with creativity and cardboard artistry.
Described as a “cardboard comedy” the story of the play revolves around a man in a three-piece suit fishing in the plains of the Great North when an accidental encounter with a mermaid changes his destiny. He embarks on an enigmatic and crazy journey narrated - with cardboard!
Originally created by top French comedians, Pierre Guillois and Olivier Martin-Salvan, the 2022 Moliere Award-winning show was a smash hit at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2023 where it received glowing 5-star reviews and played to sold-out audiences.
“The Ice Hole – A Cardboard Comedy” is now brought to life in Dubai by popular comedians and actors Sadiq Saboowala and Patrick Albrecht, two-time winners of the local Short + Sweet Dubai Theatre Festival.
Get ready to be blown away by the magic of theatre presented by Complices Theatre, Outside the Box Events, and Alex Broun - with this unique and fascinating production that has delighted audiences raving about the quality of the show:
