Live Nation & Book My Show presents Zakir Khan at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi
To say that Zakir Khan is just a popular stand-up comedian would be to miss his larger impact entirely. His is the most unlikely of stories - a college drop-out from Indore whose preferred medium is Hindi, breaking into an English-dominated scene. Zakir is one of the most loved
and celebrated stand-up comedians in India. From winning the title of India's Best Stand Up in a 2012 Comedy Central show to selling 100,000 tickets across 72 cities in 2019 alone, has been an incredible journey.
Zakir’s approach to comedy is anecdotal, personal, and heartfelt, and his delivery poetic and rustic at the same time. His appeal lies in his relatability - he has often said he used humor as a shield when bullied as a child, and his stories are punctuated with phrases that have become catchphrases, including the iconic ‘sakht launda’.
TimingsThe doors open at 05:30 p.m. and the show kicks off at 06:30 p.m. ensuring you have ample time to settle in.
