Saaniya Abbas takes audiences on her most personal and side-splitting journey yet in her award-winning show Hellarious. After a hugelysuccessful and critically acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe debut, she's now bringing Hellarious to The Westside Comedy Club. “My mother always said I’d go to hell,” she says, “so I figured I might as well write a show about it.”
Tracing her evolution from a sheltered upbringing in a Muslim family to carving out her own path, Hellarious is a bold celebration of resilience, defiance, and self-discovery.

With sharp insights and her signature feline mischief, Saaniya dives into the cultural taboos of divorce, the absurdity of internet fame, and her playful take on the concept of hell itself. She reminds us that life isn’t about always landing on your feet - it’s about laughing when you don’t.

After two sold-out shows in New York, Dubai-based comedian and storyteller Saaniya Abbas is turning up the heat with a third show added at West Side Comedy Club. A pioneer of the UAE comedy scene, Saaniya’s rise from sheltered good girl to globe-trotting cutie has captured audiences across continents. With an award-winning run at the Edinburgh Fringe and rave reviews, she brings her signature blend of incisive storytelling and devilish charm to every stage. Whether on-stage or online, Saaniya’s cracking open real life - mic in hand, heart on sleeve.
