The Qatar Summer Festival 2016 is all set to hold two programmes, Street Madness and Doha Comedy, to treat fans of stage performance and comedy with one -of- a -kind entertainment this year.
Street Madness, which will take place at Al Gharrafa Sports Club on August 12, is a sports entertainment event featuring a mini-football league where teams are led by social media influencers and celebrities from around the region.
The first team will be led by @Bogatti, a stand-up comedian known for his ‘Short and Chubby’ routine which he performed in San Diego.
Another team will be led by Shuaib Rashed (@sh3aib), the host and producer of Swar Shuaib, a YouTube talk show focused on showcasing diversity in Arab society.
Meanwhile, @IbrahimBasha, MBC presenter, actor, film-maker and stand-up comedian will be captain of a third team while Muhanad Al Harbi (@muhannaddesign), a comic widely followed for his humorous videos on Instagram on Snapchat, will lead another.
To entertain the audience between the football matches, short performances will take place by artists and comedians including rapper Qusai, artiste Hajar Al Muteiri, and the comedic band Al Sheyab, known for performing modern routines while dressed up as old men in traditional Khaliji garments.
Tickets for the family event (children must be 6 years or above) can be bought on Virgin Megastores’ website and in stores for prices ranging from QR25 to QR250. Doors open at 4pm and visitors can use the Uber promo code LUXURY12 to get to and from the show for free (available for new Uber users only).
In addition, the Doha Comedy Festival from August 18 to 20 will bring together 18 top comedians from around the region at the Qatar National Convention Centre. Tickets range from QR145 to QR 1,000 and are available at Virgin Megastore.
Now in its third edition, the annual Qatar Summer Festival is organised by Qatar Tourism Authority aimed at ‘re-energising’ the hospitality and retail sectors in collaboration with its partners in the private sector.
