Prepare to LOL

Where to be and what to do this weekend

What better way to round off your weekend than with a barrel of laughs - at no cost at all? Comedy Mix Tape, a stand-up and improv special, will be presented by the students of Dubomedy Arts School at 7pm this Saturday (November 18) at the Centre for Musical Arts, Gold and Diamond Park - and all are welcome (if you're 13 years or older!). The show will include a blend of original stand-up sets, games, and special appearances from members of the Improv Revolution troupe. Seating is limited, so RSVP to book a spot! For more info, call 800-COMEDY (266339).

Get your gaming face on
The first ever Games Con will be taking place at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre between November 23-25 - and the UAE's gaming fans have loads to look forward to! From cosplay and e-sports to tournaments and chances to play unreleased 2018 games, such as Monster Hunter: World and Dissidia Final Fantasy NT - the agenda is packed. The event will also see a roster of gaming YouTube stars - such as Ali A, Vikkstar and Zerkaa - competing live against each other on stage, in addition to taking part in Q&A sessions with the audience, meet-and-greets with fans, masterclasses and prize giveaways. Tickets are available at Virgin Megastore outlets across the GCC.
