A Comedian Walks Into A Bar - Stand-up Open Mic
A Comedian Walks Into A Bar is a fun, no-pressure comedy open mic by Comedy Kix where fresh and regular comics take the stage to test jokes, try new material, and make the room laugh. Come perform or grab a drink and enjoy a night of live comedy at Oak Live Bar, Al Barsha.
Invite your people! 🎤
Comedy is always more fun in a full room. We especially encourage our fresh comics to bring a few friends along — having familiar faces in the audience makes that first time on stage a lot more fun, and a lively crowd makes everyone’s set better. The more people in the room, the better the energy!
Cover charge of D60 (comes with a drink) only applies to the audience. But performers are encouraged to support the venue/organizer by ordering at least one drink. You get 20% performer discount.

Ground Rules for the Mic 🎤
To keep the night fun, respectful, and running smoothly:
Respect the mic – Give every comic your attention and allow them to perform without interruption.
Stick to your time – Fresh comics get 3 minutes and regular comics get 6 minutes. When you are flashed with the light, you have 1 minute to finish.
Keep the UAE off-limits – No jokes about the UAE, its leadership, government, laws, national symbols, or sensitive local matters.
No religion jokes – Avoid material targeting religions, religious beliefs, practices, or religious figures.
No directly vulgar sexual material – Adult humor is okay within reason, but graphic sexual references, explicit descriptions, and excessively vulgar sexual content are not allowed.
No hate or personal attacks – Edgy comedy is welcome, but material should not demean or attack people based on nationality, race, gender, or identity.
Breaking the rules has consequences – If you break the content rules while performing, you may be removed from the stage immediately, even in the middle of your set. Repeated or serious violations may also result in no stage time at future shows.
Check in early – Performing spots are first come, first served. Arrive early and confirm your spot before the show.
Support the room – Laugh, clap, encourage the other comics, and help make this a good room for both new and experienced performers.
10. Respect the space – Respect the venue, organizers, fellow comics, and staff. Be kind to servers and handle all venue property and equipment with care — no mic dropping.
