Comedian Wonho Chung to do English show
The Saudi-born Korean talent, who performs all of his shows in Arabic, will present his first English show on May 2
Award-winning stand up comedian Wonho Chung is set to tickle your funny bone with his first English-speaking show on May 2 at Ductac in Mall of the Emirates. The Saudi-born Korean stand-up comedian usually performs in Arabic, after having been brought up in the region, living in Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the UAE.
“I am so excited to be performing once again at Ductac and giving English speakers in the UAE the chance to enjoy my show. I have a lot of non-Arabic speaking friends and fans who want to see me perform in English, so this is an opportunity for them to see me in action,” said Chung in a statement.
“I have a busy year of shows and exciting things coming up, but always love performing in Dubai, where the crowd is always up for a laugh. I also want to challenge myself and deliver a show in English — something I rarely do,” he added.
He was also the first comedian to ever perform a full stand-up comedy set in Arabic at New York City’s Comic Strip club.
Tickets are Dh150 and Dh250 at ductac.org.
