So on 29th October I got to attend one of the best comedy night's I've been to with a brilliant host, headliner and opening acts each adding their own flare to a show that went beyond just providing great entertainment but promoted Breast Cancer Awareness and of course the event was geared to breaking stereotypes and empowering women, yes that's right WOMEN :) I've probably caught the attention of the guys by now
Event was titled " FUNNY GIRLS GO PINK"
So your probably wondering by now who are the ladies .... * Drum roll please *
1) Simone Heng ( Host for the show) ---> The daytime 10-1 pm weekdays star on Virgin Radio ! In-case you live under a rock Virgin Radio ( 104.4) is probably one of the most popular stations to grace UAE's airwaves. With a mix of Eurasian Singapore from Mothers side and Chinese from fathers, this lady's got great style with her jokes and content, I'd love to throw in a few spoilers of what to expect but no one wants Simone's tiger mom set out after them ( haha much love to mama Simone). Plus Simone's also on twitter *social high five* @SimoneHeng - Drop her a follow to stay up-to-date with all the awesome stuff she's involved with !
[Missed a solo pic, so borrowed one from a previous event]
2) Ellen Gayle Harewood (Opening Act #1) --> Known for her great stage presence, proudly resonating a mix of Jamaican and British upbringing Ellen not only does comedy and Improve with Dubomedy but has starred in a short movie Pandora ( 2010) and works on drama classes & more *social high five* Twitter --> @ChaiButterfly5 !
3) Mai Assaf (Opening Act #2) -- > Like Hummus, Mai's a mix of Arab cultures but above that she's a proud mother, and a multitasking extraordinaire; partner of a leading spa firm, worked for Dubai Ladies Club as the Marketing Guru and a California (CSU) graduate.
4) Mina Liccione ( Headlining Act)-- > The Queen of Comedy in Middle East ! The significant other to Ali Al Sayed (comedian king). If you've not had the pleasure of meeting this Italian- NewYorker lady in person, you'd be overwhelmed by her smile and positivity. Mina is a Broadway veteran & award winning Comedienne, Arts Educator and Entertainer; Mina with Ali started the comedy movement " DUBOMEDY " in Dubai, a place for not only education about comedy but performing arts as well, helping create a vibrant comedy and performing arts community.
