About Laura


Laura is from Preston in the UK and has been living in the UAE for nearly ten years. She loves the sunshine, the beaches, the brunches and the Dubai lifestyle!

She has a little pomeranian rescue dog called Christmas who she's obsessed with!  She's equally as obsessed with the Christmas festive season! She would play Christmas music all year round if she could! Michael Buble's number one fan. She loves a good bargain, a good laugh, good fun and she lives life to the fullest every single day. Laura is a big believer in positive thinking.

'Whatever you think about you bring about'.

My Perfect UAE Weekend Would Look Like...

Early morning walks with Christmas followed by a hot yoga or pilates class. A nice breakfast and then a beach club to get my tan on and catch up with friends. Takeaway pizza for dinner and reality TV or/and a Christmas movie!

Favourite Delivery Order...

PIZZA! Always pizza! Pepperoni, pineapple, jalepenos, chillies, cherry tomatoes....sounds like a weird mix but trust me it's delicious! 

The Song I'll Always Sing Out Loud...

Don't Stop Believing by Journey!

The App I Spend The Most Time On...

Instagram...I wish I could spend less time on there but I'm constantly scrolling ha!  Oh and Shein & Temu...it's so easy to keep adding things to the cart ha ha! 

The Best Artist I've Ever Seen Live...

Michael Buble, Saadiyat Nights Abu Dhabi, 16th January 2025. The greatest night of my life! Did I mention that I met him? Oh and yes I still have the cardboard cut out of him ha ha! 

You should listen to me on Dubai 92 because...

We'll have fun, we'll have a chat, we'll have a laugh and I'll play all your favourite tunes.

About Rob


Rob is an entertainment legend here in the UAE!

Rob Duce’s career has taken him from Big Four accountancy to restauranteur, sushi manufacturing, event management, show business and now the airwaves as a "Talking Head" on Dubai 92.

After selling his UK business, Sushi San, he built Outside the Box Events in Dubai and now runs Theatre by QE2, bringing comedy, live music, family shows and theatre aboard the iconic ship. Whether behind the mic or behind the scenes, Rob loves bringing people together for a great time!

My Perfect UAE Weekend Would Look Like...

A round of golf (or two) at Jumeirah Golf Estates, a fantastic music or theatre show, an evening brunch and an Everton FC win!

Favourite Delivery Order...

So many to choose from – for Pakistani and North Indian - Ravi’s, for Pizza – Pitfire, for Chinese – Desert Wok, for Thai – Thai Wok and for Vietnamese (my current fave) – Vietnamese Bistro… thank you Talabat & Careem & all the wonderful delivery drivers speeding my food to me!

The Song I'll Always Sing Out Loud...

John Farnham – You’re the Voice – because who doesn’t love a rocking bagpipe solo!! Oh and a guilty pleasure is a bit of Robbie and “Let Me Entertain You!”

The App I Spend The Most Time On...

I just checked my iPhone history and apparently it’s ???

The Best Artist I've Ever Seen Live...

There’s been quite a few but probably The Supremes at our own venue in 2019 – The QE2 – as Susaye Green, Sherrie Payne and Joyce Vincent sang their amazing hits pitch perfect about 2 metres from where I was standing! I also saw The Clash at Leeds University when I was18! A certain Andy Kershaw arranged and promoted the gigs at Leeds in those days.

You should listen to me on Dubai 92 because...

If you want to know what’s happening in the UAE and get the inside news on what to watch on TV at the Movies and Theatre shows… then listen to The Saturday Brunch!
