Here’s Jimmy!
Tickets may be a tad difficult to come by, but tonight marks the second performance of Britain’s best-known comedian Jimmy Carr at Dubai World Trade Center. Big live shows are back in the UAE and they don’t come more high profile than this. Jimmy will have one final performance on Friday evening.

Catch the football
Following capacity crowds at Sharjah’s drive-in cinema for the last two Round of 16 matches, UEFA Champions League football returns to Movie Nights at Aljada, Sharjah, over the next 10 days. From 11pm on Friday perhaps the fixture of the round, Barcelona vs Bayern Munich, will be on and it’s free to enter.

City Special
There are more than a few Manchester City fans in Abu Dhabi, which means the drive-in screening at Yas Marina Circuit this weekend will be popular. City’s Champions League quarterfinal clash against Lyon is on Saturday and you can catch the action on a large open-air screen.
