Zakir Khan at Dubai Opera

Back by popular demand after a sold-out performance at the 2025 Dubai Comedy Festival, Zakir Khan is all set to bring his signature humor back to Dubai Opera this January.
Zakir Khan’s rise in the comedy world is nothing short of remarkable. Hailing from Indore and dropping out of college, he defied norms by delivering stand-up in Hindi, breaking into an industry largely dominated by English-speaking comedians.
Today, he’s not just a leading voice in Indian comedy, but a global sensation who has captivated audiences in cities like London, New York, and Toronto.
Known for his deeply personal, anecdotal style, Zakir’s comedy blends poetic flair with raw, relatable storytelling. His charm lies in the authenticity of his experiences, often reflecting on moments of struggle, childhood bullying, and social awkwardness, with humor as his armor. Over time, he's given fans several unforgettable catchphrases, including the iconic "Sakht Launda."
With more than 830 million views on YouTube, Zakir's connection with audiences is undeniable. His presence off-stage is just as impactful—his Amazon Prime Video specials Tathastu, Haq Se Single, and Kaksha Gyaarvi have become some of the most acclaimed Indian comedy specials to date, with viewer ratings of 9.1, 8.6, and 8.3, respectively.
Don’t miss your chance to see Zakir Khan live in Dubai—an evening of laughter, heart, and unforgettable storytelling awaits.
