About us
The Courtyard Playhouse is Dubai's first and only improv theatre.

By creating this unique space, we hope to give rise to a thriving improv community in Dubai.
This group is for comedy and theatre-lovers living in Dubai who want to connect with like-minded folk.
Anyone is welcome to suggest get-togethers.
We have improv shows every Wednesday evening from mid Sept to mid October. Entrance is free or by donation to help keep the community going.
