Varun Grover brings his stand-up show to Dubai on Saturday, 10 January 2026 at Dubai Auditorium inside Dubai College in Al Sufouh 2. The venue address to use for navigation is Dubai College, Al Sufouh 2, Dubai, PO Box 837, and the main phone line is +971 4 399 9111. Doors are listed for 19:15 and the show start is listed for 20:00, with an expected runtime of about two hours. Tickets are listed from approximately 145 AED, and categories can sell unevenly as the date gets closer. Tickets are required.
Venue flow and timing rhythm
Because doors open at 19:15, you can treat the first part of the evening as your buffer for parking, scanning tickets, and finding your section without rushing. Therefore, if you want the easiest entry, aim to arrive between 19:15 and 19:35 rather than right before 20:00. Also, the auditorium setup rewards early seating because late arrivals tend to disrupt the room’s focus once the comedian settles into longer bits. If you like calmer corridors and fewer queues, come early and stay put, then leave quickly after the show ends. Arrive early for smoother seating.
Varun Grover and the tone of the night
Varun Grover is known for sharp, idea-driven comedy that leans on observation, satire, and storytelling rather than quick punchline chains. Moreover, he also works as a lyricist and scriptwriter, so his stand-up often carries a writer’s pacing and carefully built callbacks. This Dubai date is tied to his solo show Love, Death and Ketchup, which suggests a themed set rather than a random club drop-in. The listing notes the show will be mainly in Hindi with some parts in English, so the best experience comes if you enjoy bilingual rhythm and cultural references. (Suitable for couples, suitable for friends, suitable for solo, not ideal for younger teens.) The show is strictly 14+ only.
Ticket categories and seating strategy
One practical detail matters here, because only the VVIP category uses allocated seating, while other categories typically run on first-come, first-served placement within their zones. Therefore, if you want to control exactly where you sit, VVIP often feels less stressful, especially if you arrive close to start time. Also, keep in mind that Gold sits on the first floor and Silver and Bronze sit on the second floor, and the venue notes there is no lift, so you will use stairs for those areas. If stairs are a concern, choose a category that matches your comfort, and consider arriving earlier to move at your own pace. There is no lift access to upper floors.
Getting there from Dubai and nearby Emirates
If you drive, the venue directions commonly route you via Umm Al Sheif Street D65, then onto 18th Street, and then along Al Sufouh Road D94 until you reach the Dubai College campus. Alternatively, if you prefer public transport, you can use the Dubai Metro Red Line to Nakheel Metro Station, then connect by RTA Bus F29 toward Dubai Internet City Metro Station and get off at the Dubai College bus stop. Meanwhile, taxis and ride-hailing usually work well here, because Dubai College is widely recognised by drivers, especially in Al Sufouh. From Abu Dhabi, leaving mid to late afternoon gives you time for dinner nearby before the 20:00 start, and from Sharjah, an earlier departure helps you avoid the busiest Saturday evening traffic into central Dubai. Plan extra road time on Saturday evening.
On-site rules and comfort details
Parking is described as limited at the venue, so it helps to avoid arriving in the last 15 minutes before showtime. Also, snacks and refreshments are typically available on a paid basis, yet only popcorn and water are noted as allowed inside the auditorium, and other refreshments should be finished in the registration area. Because of that, you may want to eat beforehand if you dislike rushed concessions during a short break. Once the show begins, the venue policy states no photography or videography, and it also bans smoking and vaping, so keep your phone away and take breaks outside if you need them. No photography or videography is permitted once the show starts.
WARNINGS AND TIPS CLOSING PARAGRAPH
Saturday, 10 January 2026 in Dubai looks mild and comfortable, with a mostly clear, slightly hazy evening around 21°C at 20:00, so a light layer is smart for air-conditioning and the cooler late-night walk to the car. However, because parking is limited and Al Sufouh can bottleneck before popular evening events, try to arrive closer to 19:15 than 20:00, and consider ride-hailing if you want to avoid the tightest parking window. If you choose public transport, the metro plus the F29 bus connection can work, although many guests still prefer a direct taxi for a cleaner arrival at night. Ticket and door prices may change and are approximately, and the most reliable place to purchase tickets for this show is PLATINUMLIST. Make your reservation early if you want the best category choices. In the same practical spirit often used by the editor of www.few.ae, early entry usually matters more than perfect timing on busy Dubai comedy nights.
