Mina Nader Brings His Interactive Stand-Up to Etihad Arena

Mina Nader brings his Interactive Stand-Up Comedy Show to Etihad Arena on Yas Island on the evening of Sunday, 22 November. The Egyptian comedian performs in Arabic, and much of the night is built on conversations with the audience: answers and stories from the seats turn into improvised material on the spot. The show is open to guests aged 16 and over.

Nader started out with amateur theatre groups in Egypt, performed at the El Hanager cultural centre and appeared on MBC's The Play before turning to stand-up full time. He has now been in comedy for more than 16 years and, according to the organisers, over 500 sold-out shows across the Middle East, Europe, Canada and beyond. His material comes from everyday situations and personal stories, but the crowd decides where each set goes, so no two nights play out the same way. UAE fans caught him only recently, when he played two shows in a single evening at Dubai Opera in September.

His Abu Dhabi show rounds off a busy comedy Sunday at the arena, the last of three shows there that day. The fuller the room, the more material he has to work with, so it pays to arrive early. Don't leave it late: Mina Nader tickets at Etihad Arena.
