They worked diligently over the last 3 and a half years to create a local comedy community all while providing professional training, performance opportunities for local artists and using comedy as a tool to bring the many cultures living in the UAE together.
Not only does their “East meets West” relationship reflect in their professional endeavors but also in their wedding ceremony. The couple did an excellent job of blending their two diverse cultures to create a unique and very memorable wedding.
As they are both performers and comedians the reception naturally had to include a few entertaining surprises! From a lovely Lebanese singer to a local Stand Up Comic to a fantastic Scottish MC to the father of the bride singing Dean Martin’s “That’s Amore”.

When asked how things will change now that they are married Liccione said “The biggest difference is that we’re now going to have to fight over who gets to use which joke when it comes to married life!”
