An academically gifted student, he studied to be a lawyer, but envisioned himself on stage as a comedian and an actor. “The plan was to be a lawyer and then maybe some kind of professor," he told <i>The National </i>prior to his show at the Dubai World Trade Centre in May 2021. "There would be days when I would be driving to work or school and my mind would be daydreaming and I wasn't really into what I was doing. "And it wasn't really until my mid-twenties that I decided to really go for it.” The coming show at Etihad Arena is being presented by Al Kalema Productions, in conjunction with the Department of Culture and Tourism — Abu Dhabi and Yas Island. <i>Tickets are going on sale on October 27 at </i><a href="http://www.etihadarena.ae/" target="_blank"><i>www.etihadarena.ae</i></a><i> starting from Dh250</i>
