Brief History of The Entertainer App

In 2001, The Entertainer was founded in Dubai by Donna Benton, who is originally from Melbourne, Australia. She launched the company as a “buy one, get one free” provider, publishing books containing discount vouchers for different places all over Dubai.

In 2012, a subsidiary of Abraaj Capital (a Dubai-based investment firm), acquired a 50 percent stake in the company. Soon, The Entertainer began going “digital” and “international.” The following year, the company launched a mobile app, eventually shifting from print to a fully digital platform.

Today, The Entertainer App is available across 23 destinations in 16 countries, including Qatar, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Greece, Cyprus, Pakistan, South Africa, and the UK. Other than English, the platform comes in Arabic, Greek, and Cantonese. Cool!
