Well, look who is returning to Dubai and Abu Dhabi next month. Russell Peters himself. The Indo-Canadian stand up comedian is set to tickle some funny bones in the UAE on the 20 and 22 of March. 

Live Nation will bring to you the Dubai show which will take place at the Dubai World Trade Centre on Tuesday, March 20. The Abu Dhabi show is at the Flash Forum on Thursday March 22, presented by Flash.

Tickets for both the show go on sale at midday on February 29.

Russell looks excited about his travel plans. He took to the micro blogging website Twitter and wrote: "Check it out.. Dubai, Abu Dhabi, JoBurg, Durban & Capetown.. I'm coming there in March and April.. I can't wait to perform for u guys again!" "I almost forgot... BEIRUT!!!," he wrote.

The last time he visited Dubai in 2007 all his tickets were sold out within hours. The rush for his show led the organisers rethink and they had a second day show.

The World Tour will take Peters not only to the Middle East, but also to South Africa, Singapore, Jakarta, Hong Kong, Manila, Australia, New Zealand, Northern Europe and arenas across his native Canada and the United States and also features NYC's DJ Spinbad and comedian Ruben Paul.
 
Tickets, priced Dh250, Dh350, Dh450 and Dh550, will be available at ticketingco.com for Dubai and thinkflash.ae for Abu Dhabi.
