According to information compiled by FEW.ae editor, the renowned comedian Tom Segura will headline the 7th Dubai Comedy Festival with his “Come Together” tour at the Coca-Cola Arena on Thursday, 2 October 2025, promising an evening of razor-sharp humor and bold observations.
Venue Showcase: Coca-Cola Arena
Coca-Cola Arena, located in the vibrant City Walk district of Dubai, is a state-of-the-art multi-purpose indoor arena. The venue officially opened on 6 June 2019 and is managed by Legends Global. With a maximum capacity of 17,000 spectators, it is one of the region’s premier entertainment destinations.
Structurally, the arena supports versatile configurations (end-stage, in-the-round, more intimate settings) and features automatic retractable seating to adapt to different show types. Its roof structure is engineered to handle significant loads (up to 190 metric tonnes), allowing heavy rigging for lighting and sound setups. Amenities include 17 elevators, 26 escalators, more than 35 food & beverage outlets, 28 wheelchair spaces with companion seats, four sports changing rooms, eight artist dressing rooms, and facade lighting comprising some 4,600 LED modules. Its location is strategically close to major road arteries — accessible from Sheikh Zayed Road via Exit 47 toward Al Safa Street — and also within walking distance from the Dubai Mall/Burj Khalifa Metro Station on the Red Line.
The arena operates as a cashless venue, and external food or drink is not permitted inside. Onsite parking is limited, with paid parking starting at AED 65, and public transport or taxis are recommended for getting in. Security protocols include strict ticket validation, physical ID checks, and no re-entry once tickets are scanned.
When Laughter Takes Center Stage
Doors for the event open at 18:30 local time, with the performance scheduled to begin at 20:00. Ticket prices start from AED 295, scaling upward depending on seating category (Bronze, Silver, Gold, and premium aisle options). The show carries an age restriction of 16+, and attendees within the 16–20 age bracket may need to be accompanied by an adult.
Weather on that evening in early October is expected to be typical for Dubai — warm and dry, with minimal likelihood of rain — so patrons traveling outdoors to the venue should be comfortable. (As per historical patterns, evening temperatures often hover in the mid-twenties Celsius with clear skies.)
The Man on Stage: Tom Segura

Attendee Advice & Experience Tips
Given the venue’s strict policies, attendees should arrive early, have tickets and valid Emirates ID ready if required, and be prepared for security screening. Because Coca-Cola Arena is cashless, any on-site purchases (food, drinks, merchandise) will require electronic payment.
Given parking is limited and may incur additional cost, many guests will find public transport or taking a taxi more practical — especially given the proximity to the Dubai Mall/Burj Khalifa Metro station. The venue’s climate control ensures a comfortable indoor environment regardless of outside heat.
