SUMMARY:Anirban Dasgupta: Cry Daddy
DESCRIPTION:Anirban Dasgupta returns to Dubai with his third stand-up special\, fresh from its debut last year at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and a successful run at the Soho Theatre in London. \nKolkata born and Mumbai based\, Anirban Dasgupta comes across as mild-mannered and playful. But this cleverly structured show is sharper and more carefully honed than this might imply … His childhood dream was to become a sportsman. Now a new father navigating the chaotic second half of his life\, he’s wondering whether everything – from comedy to parenting – is actually just a game. Who’s winning? Who’s losing? And does anyone really know the score? \nThe show unfolds as an immersive stand-up match played with the audience\, where each joke is scored and the contest continues until the final punchline. With yellow cards\, half-time pep talks\, trash talking\, and shirt swapping\, the audience becomes part of the action\, left debating scores and outcomes as the show goes down to the wire … \nThe evening will be hosted and opened by Arpit Varshne\, who quit a perfectly good job as a Dubai radio jockey to move to India ain the pursuit of stand-up comedy greatness. Sharp\, self-aware\, and just the right amount of unhinged\, Arpit sets the tone before Anirban takes the mic …

SUMMARY:Karn:Warrior 
DESCRIPTION:Now this sounds like a lot of fun – an immersive hi-tech retelling of the story of the Mahabharata epic hero Karn. Raised in a humble village\, unaware of his noble birth\, a stable boy among princes\, Karn’s journey leads to the legendary Kurukshetra War\, where Krishna reveals his true origins and Karn must face his sworn enemy Arjun … \nThis production is described as “like stepping inside a video game”. Karn:Warrior is produced by ANT Management with a raft of Dubai theatre notables – direction by Alex Broun\, fight routines choreographed by Narsimha “Nattu” Chouhan\, movement by Gillian Rhodes (who also stars)\, stunning big-screen LED visuals by Montel Goodrick Maiava\, music by Daniel Faber (who we think is responsible for Male Fireworks\, a track on magpie’s go-to playlist\, and who certainly is one of the people behind the Rair oxygen-and-water enterprise) … \nAlex Broun described the show to us as “a uniquely modern take on the story”. It’s not just the video game setting: “most of the main characters in the Mahabharata are male\, but we have cast three exceptional female actors to play all the roles. This brings a very different take on these legendary stories\, highlighting moments and ideas that are often glossed over in other versions …” We’re promised that “Karn:Warrior is fast moving\, explosive and highly entertaining 60 minutes – it will literally be leaping off the QE2 stage. One you definitely shouldn’t miss.” \nThere are multiple characters but just three actors. Newcomer Anita Nayyar plays Karn; Rochelle Goodrick is Arjun\, Karn’s arch enemy\, and takes other roles including Duroydhan\, his benefactor; Gillian Rhodes plays more than 10 different parts ranging from an eight-year-old girl to an 80-year-old guru. \nIt plays for one day only\, with shows at 2pm and 7pm.
