The Arena will be releasing tickets tomorrow (Sunday) for a huge Miami Band show being produced and directed by Free Jabriya.
The show will feature Miami Band but like you’ve never experienced them before with a multi sensory, multi visual experience that integrates a live orchestra, dancers, animation, costumes and the whole works.
The show is being worked on with massive international designers and content creators including:
Studio Flint – The content creators behind the Coldplay ‘Music Of The Spheres’ world tour
Woodroffe Bassett Design – The lighting designers behind the recent Elton John farewell tour
Susan Kulkarni – Costume designer for movies like The Peripheral and Martin Scorsese’s ‘Silence’
Rebecca Brower – Stage designer who worked on the opening and closing ceremonies for the London 2012 Olympics
The show will be a visual journey through the eyes of Miami Band, celebrating them for everything they’ve accomplished. The event will take place from September 28th to October 2nd and tickets will start from 25KD. Tickets go on sale tomorrow on The Arena website.
Mo Amer, the Palestinian American comedian known for his hilarious performances in the Netflix show ‘Mo’ and the award-winning Hulu sitcom ‘Ramy,’ is coming to Kuwait to perform a stand-up comedy show at The Arena.
Mo was actually born in Kuwait and lived here till the age of 9. He only left Kuwait because of the 1990 Iraq invasion which is how he ended up in the US.
The show titled “Homecoming” is taking place on September 8th. Tickets start at 25KD and go up all the way to 75KD and are available for sale on The Arena’s website.
Back in February I drove down to Riyadh to watch the Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury fight and I had a blast. I thought I posted about my experience but seems like I didn’t for some reason. It was such a well put together event and I ended up getting really great VIP seats for not so much money. It also gave me access to the premium hospitality area where there was lots of food, a terrace to watch the fights from if I wanted to but it also allowed me to be up close to the fighters during their walkouts. The fights were great, the venue was great, everything about that trip was perfect.
A few days ago Tyson Fury, the world heavyweight champion announced that he will be boxing UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou this coming October in Riyadh. I’m assuming it’s going to be held in the same open air venue as the Jake Paul fight and I’m 100% going to try and get tickets for this fight once they go on sale.
If you want a great experience this October, as I said last time, Riyadh is just a short 6-hour drive down. My VIP ticket last time cost me 60KD and it was really really worth it but tickets last time started from just 15KD. Tickets aren’t on sale yet but I’ll repost once they are.
The Ikarus Astro group is hosting an astronomy event tonight at AlKhout Mall sea side from 7 to 10PM. It’s a free event and open to the public to observe the moon and planets. Ikarus will be bringing a few telescopes with them including the biggest mobile telescope in Kuwait so you should be able to get a pretty good viewing.
If you’re looking for something out of the ordinary to do tonight, this is it. @ikarustechnolog

The Q8 Comedy Club have a show tomorrow night and as of this post, tickets are still available (they’re free). The show is a combination of improv comedy and stand-up and is hosted by Ahmad Alshammari (@ahmad_comedy) from @shenoya3ni_tv. He’s obviously extremely funny, but so are the rest of the comedians, especially when you consider the fact we don’t even have a comedy scene in Kuwait.
The show is in Arabic and is taking place in Salmiya inside Dalal Complex. As I mentioned, tickets are free and if you want to get them you need to hurry up, the link is in their profile @q8comedy1
Update: It’s now sold out but you can follow them to stay posted on their next show.
If you’re looking for an outdoor activity this weekend, the 2nd Gulf Bank Off Road Challenge is taking place in Bnaider this Friday, March 10th from 10AM to 5PM.

The obstacle courses will contain sand, rocks, water basins, and other challenges that the participants must pass in order to complete the challenge.
There will be food trucks, large screens, and bleachers for attendees to sit and watch the event from. Entrance is free and since it’s taking place next to the Al Farsi Kite Show, you could hit up both on the same trip.
If you have a 4×4 vehicle and want to participate in the event you can also do that. The cost of registration is 20KD and you could win prizes up to 750KD. To register your car, visit the website www.suffix.events.
