Riyadh Comedy Festival

The Riyadh Comedy Festival is a relatively new annual event launched in 2022 as part of Saudi Arabia’s broader entertainment and cultural initiatives under Vision 2030. It features a diverse lineup of local and international comedians, marking a significant development in the Kingdom’s burgeoning entertainment scene by bringing stand-up comedy to a wide public audience.

Riyadh

Riyadh is the capital and largest city of Saudi Arabia, serving as the nation’s political and administrative center. Historically a walled settlement, it became the capital in 1932 after King Abdulaziz Al Saud captured the city and unified the regions to form the modern Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Today, it is a modern metropolis and a major financial hub, symbolizing the country’s rapid development.
