Comedians treading the boards at the first ever Dubai Comedy Festival will arrive at their performance venues in style thanks to Hertz UAE.
The car rental company is one of the sponsors of the new event launched by top British funnyman Jim Davidson, OBE, and has been appointed as the official transport provider.
Comedians taking part, which include British comedy giants Ronnie Corbett, Bobby Davro, Frank Carson and Brian Conley as well as Jim Davidson himself, will be chauffeur-driven to the venues by Hertz UAE drivers.
The Festival, organised by Dubai-based Midas International FZ LLC, takes place between November 9 and 19 in venues across Dubai and Abu Dhabi. More than 35 acts will be appearing ranging from well-known comedy legends to newer faces such as Matt Blaize, Jo Enright and Perrier Award Nominee Phil Nichol.
Bob Farrow, General Manager of Hertz UAE, said: “This is an exciting new event on the Dubai calendar and we are very pleased to offer our services to help support it. The quality of the performers on the bill is impressive and includes household names that many of our customers will recognise plus some exciting new talent. I would like to wish Jim Davidson and the rest of the Dubai Comedy Festival team the best of luck with the event.”
Jim Davidson, OBE, said: “It’s great to be working with Hertz UAE and I would like to thank them for their support. The Dubai Comedy Festival is an entirely new event and we rely on the support of local businesses and residents to make it a success. Timing is everything in comedy and with the help of Hertz UAE’s chauffeur service the many supremely talented artistes taking part in the Festival are assured of getting to their performance venues on time.”
