Session Details

This session explores the journey from acting to stand-up comedy, examining how the two art forms influence and complement each other, from performance techniques to the use of voice, body language, facial expressions, and timing.

It also delves into the creative process behind developing jokes and transforming everyday experiences into material for the stage, including what happens when a joke that works on paper fails to connect with an audience.

The session concludes by looking at the future of Emirati comedy, the potential for a distinct local comedic identity, and its ability to reach wider Gulf and Arab audiences.
