Paul Taylor Takes Dubai: Expats, Laughter & French Faux Pas
Get ready for an evening of cross-cultural hilarity as British comedian Paul Taylor brings his unique brand of observational humor to the Dubai Comedy Festival! On October 10, 2025, at 6:30 PM, the New Covent Garden Theatre, Mall of the Emirates, will host a show that promises to have you holding onto your berets – or perhaps just your sides! Paul Taylor, a name synonymous with bridging cultural divides through laughter, has made an incredible mark in France. He's not just a comedian; he's the creator, writer, and star of the wildly popular hit TV show "WTF France." This series, which gained massive traction on social media and Canal+, saw Paul hilariously dissecting French quirks, customs, and linguistic conundrums from the perspective of a bewildered yet affectionate British expat. His "French Bashing," as he playfully calls it, is done with such wit and charm that even the French can't help but laugh, leading to over 1.5 million followers and hundreds of millions of views across his platforms. For his Dubai show, presented by Live Nation Middle East, Paul will delve into the very experiences that catapulted him to fame. Expect a journey through linguistic misunderstandings, cultural mix-ups, and the sheer absurdity of expat life, all delivered 100% in English for the Dubai audience. Having already sold out three bilingual world tours, Paul's ability to connect with diverse audiences is undeniable. He's the first comedian in France to successfully perform bilingual stand-up, a testament to his sharp wit and universal appeal. Whether you're an expat yourself, a fan of sharp, intelligent comedy, or simply looking for a fantastic night out, Paul Taylor's performance is a must-see. He masterfully turns everyday cultural clashes into uproarious stand-up, proving that sometimes, the best way to understand each other is to laugh at ourselves. Don't miss this chance to see the comedian who famously makes fun of the French – and they love it (or tell him to "f*** off back to England!"). Get your tickets and prepare for a comedic experience unlike any other!
