Returning to the Dubai Comedy Festival after a sold-out show in 2023, the hugely popular comedian Zakir Khan is set to perform at Coca-Cola Arena on 12 October 2025.
To call Zakir Khan just a popular stand-up comedian would overlook the larger impact of his journey. His is the most unlikely of stories - a college drop-out from Indore, performing in Hindi and breaking into an English-language dominated comedy scene. Today, he is celebrated not just as an Indian comedian, but as a Global entertainer who has created history by performing at some of the biggest venues in London, NYC and Toronto.
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’. This has won him a massive following in a short span of time - including 830 million+ views just on YouTube.
Beyond the stage, Zakir has had considerable success on the screen. His his Amazon Prime Video stand-up comedy specials, Tathastu, Haq Se Single and Kaksha Gyaarvi, are among the highest-rated specials by an Indian comedian, clocking 9.1, 8.6, and 8.3 respectively.Read MoreRead Less
