Description

Would highly recommend this funny and entertaining show, especially if you have been spent any time in Dubai.

We were on our way to a barbershop (my husband needed a haircut) when we were approached by a flyerer. It happened to be Liz herself. I don't know why I instantly had the urge to look her up on instagram and when I did- I thought- ah, why not. She seems fun!

Ditched the barber, went to Liz's show and boy was that not the best decision we made today. Left feeling great, happy and content. Liz was brilliant, funny and everything she said just hit the right spot. One way we can describe Liz's show is that if it was dish, it's a perfectly seasoned dish. Enough salt, pepper and everything else. Nothing more, nothing less.

We have not had that good of a laugh in a while. Thanks Liz!

Was this really 55 minutes long??? One of the best shows I have been to as I never once looked at my watch during the performance. Liz has outstanding oratory skills and kept the audience attention through out her stories and humorous aspects of life in Dubai. Cannot recommend this enough. This is a must see performance.

Liz is one of the best acts we've seen in the fringe, super funny and engaging and natural. She sucks you in with her wit and her self deprecating charm. Will definitely come see her again.

Unfortunately couldn’t get to see the full show as we had others booked for the same time. We had seen Liz in one of the morning
‘taster’ sessions where several comedians do about 10 mins each at one session to showcase themselves.
I can tell you that I have seen a lot of comedians and Liz Bain is one of the best - by a mile was easily the best we saw in the entire day - even in that 10 mins. She is genuinely funny with great timing and a very engaging demeanour. So many times I feel disappointed listening to someone going through their routine - a bit ‘same old - here we go again’ - but I was wanting to hear much more. Home again I almost feel like making the trip back just to see her. She is destined to be a star I think. Really funny.
