Joanne McNally Live at Dubai Comedy Festival 2025

Presented by GME Events

Described by The Sunday Times as a ‘truly gifted stand-up; and named ‘One to Watch’ by Variety, Joanne is the record-breaking queen of Irish comedy.

Following the runaway success of Joanne’s previous show – a show that set off on its maiden voyage in initial previews back in 2019 before becoming a critically acclaimed global riot – touring across the UK, Ireland, Australia, Dubai, Canada and the US. Selling over 210,000 tickets, the tour played multiple nights at iconic venues such as the London Palladium and Hammersmith Apollo.

Back home, Ticketmaster IE crowned the show its Comedy Event of the Year following an unprecedented 78 show run at Dublin’s Vicar Street. Since then, McNally has been keeping herself busy by ruining men’s lives (and her own) – still single, still unfertilised, and laden with irreverent, ridiculous and hilarious war stories, join Joanne for a wild ride, as she navigates situationships, revenge, frenemies and rejection in her ‘terrifyingly funny’ (The Evening Standard) and ‘joyously nuts’ (The Irish Examiner) trademark style.

One of podcasting’s best-loved names, Joanne is the co-host of the award-winning My Therapist Ghosted Me alongside best friend Vogue Williams – since launching in 2021, the podcast has surpassed 300 episodes and reaches over 2.5 million listeners per month. It won the Podcast Champion award at the 2023 British Podcast Awards and took home the Spotlight Award at the 2023 Irish Podcast Awards. In 2023 and 2024, the podcast embarked on a global live tour, including performances in New York, Sydney and Dubai, culminating in five sold-out nights at Dublin’s 3Arena. Elsewhere, Joanne also hosts the hugely popular BBC Sounds format Joanne McNally Investigates – with two series under her belt: Who Replaced Avril Lavigne? and Do Furbys Spy On Us?

A primetime TV regular, Joanne is best known for her riotous appearances on Taskmaster, The Jonathan Ross Show, and The Big Fat Quiz of Everything. She created, wrote, and presented the documentary Baby Hater (TV3), and has also co-hosted Republic of Telly (RTE 2), and appeared on numerous other shows including Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel, House of Games (BBC), and Joe Lycett’s Got Your Back (Channel 4).

This show is in English language.
