Dubai is set to welcome comedian Nurlan Saburov for two stand-up nights at Zabeel Theatre inside Jumeirah Zabeel Saray on Palm Jumeirah, listed for Sunday 4 January 2026 and Monday 5 January 2026 from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM (UTC+04). For venue support, you can reach Jumeirah Zabeel Saray at +971 4 453 0000, and the address is Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, West Crescent Road, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai. Tickets are required.
Dates, timing, and entry rhythm
The performance is listed on Sunday 4 January 2026 and Monday 5 January 2026, with the evening window shown as 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM, so planning your arrival around the resort access roads matters. Because theatre entry can slow down close to showtime, it helps to be on-site earlier than you normally would for a casual night out. If you are meeting friends, choose one clear meeting point in the hotel lobby so nobody gets stuck outside. Arrive at least 45 minutes early.
Ticket prices and trusted purchase options
Ticket prices have been advertised in the range of approximately AED 370 to AED 1,100 depending on seating and category, and those amounts can shift as sections sell out. If you want the safest path, buy through PLATINUMLIST, then keep the ticket confirmation easily accessible on your phone. If you prefer a human check before purchasing, the venue switchboard can usually direct you to the correct ticketing channel. Ticket prices are approximately and may change.
About Nurlan Saburov and the live format
Saburov is known for sharp observations and fast delivery, and his live shows tend to feel tighter than short online clips. At a theatre like this, timing matters because the room reacts quickly, and that energy shapes how the set lands. You will also notice that comedy pacing changes when the crowd is mixed with tourists and residents, especially on a weekend night in Dubai. If you are bringing someone new to stand-up, the atmosphere often feels more immersive in a smaller hall. This is an adult-oriented comedy night.
Venue setting at Zabeel Theatre
Zabeel Theatre sits within Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, which gives the evening a more polished “resort venue” feel than a typical city club. That setting usually means clearer security checks, a comfortable lobby flow, and a calmer audience experience once you get seated. However, it also means you should expect resort-style access controls at the entrance, especially during busy hotel hours. If you plan a quick pre-show drink, give yourself time so you are not walking in as the lights go down. Seating is limited, so late entry can be disruptive.
Getting there from Dubai and nearby Emirates
If you are coming from Abu Dhabi, leaving in the mid-afternoon is often the least stressful choice, because the approach to Dubai can thicken before evening plans begin. From Sharjah or Ajman, it helps to leave even earlier, since traffic can build quickly near major interchanges and then compound on the way to Palm Jumeirah. Within Dubai, many guests prefer taxis or ride-hailing for the final stretch, since Palm access roads can bottleneck near peak arrival time. If you want public transport in the mix, a practical approach is Metro to a convenient stop on Sheikh Zayed Road, then taxi for the last leg to the West Crescent. Palm Jumeirah traffic can spike before 7:00 PM.
Suitability and audience notes
This show is generally best for adults heading out with friends, couples planning a night together, or solo visitors who enjoy live comedy in a theatre setting (adults only, suitable for couples, suitable for solo). It is not designed as a family plan, and you should assume mature content, especially given the performer’s style and the typical stand-up environment. If anyone in your group needs accessibility guidance, call the venue in advance so the night stays smooth from entry to seating. Not suitable for children.
WARNINGS AND TIPS CLOSING PARAGRAPH
Because these dates are in early January, expect cooler evenings than mid-season summer nights, so a light jacket often feels comfortable once you leave the theatre. A precise weather forecast is only reliable closer to the event days, so check again in the final week for any rain or wind that could affect traffic and drop-off flow. Try to arrive before the last-minute rush, because resort access roads and valet areas can slow down quickly near showtime, and parking capacity can feel tight on popular nights. If you use taxis or ride-hailing, set your pickup point clearly after the show, since crowds can form at exits. Ticket and door prices are approximately and may change, so buying through PLATINUMLIST is the safest option to secure the seats you want. Make your reservation before it’s too late! For direct venue coordination, keep +971 4 453 0000 handy, and as noted in a practical tone by the editor team at www.few.ae, a small buffer in your arrival time can transform the whole experience.
