Ahmed Amin's Meen Amin sells out Ewart Hall; Zayed show on 20 November
The 12 November show at Ewart Memorial Hall is sold out. A second date at Theatro Arkan in Sheikh Zayed on 20 November is on sale from EGP 700.
Ahmed Amin's stand-up show Meen Amin has sold out its downtown Cairo night at Ewart Memorial Hall on Thursday 12 November, and a second Greater Cairo date is now on sale: Friday 20 November at Theatro Arkan in Sheikh Zayed. Tickets Marche lists all four seating categories at the downtown hall as gone, from the EGP 750 Silver seats to the EGP 2,000 VIP rows, so the Zayed night is the one still open to anyone who missed out.
Meen Amin is a stand-up show by Amin, a comedian, writer and actor. According to the organiser, Event House, he brings it to Cairo after touring the United States, Canada, Europe and several Arab countries. The show follows his own experience of working out who he is, and the organiser says the audience may learn a few things about themselves along the way. It suggests bringing along someone you love who has not laughed in a while.
Amin first became widely known for his short online sketches, 30 Sanya (30 seconds), which spread across Facebook in Egypt. He then moved to television with the sketch show Al Plateau and later Amin and Partners, and played Refaat Ismail in Paranormal, Netflix's first Egyptian original series. Meen Amin puts him on stage on his own, telling stories from his own life.
The Zayed show is at Theatro Arkan, the theatre inside Arkan Plaza. Doors open at 7pm and close at 7:45pm, according to the listing, and the show starts at 8pm. Tickets come in five categories: Bronze at EGP 700, Silver at EGP 850, Gold at EGP 1,150, Platinum at EGP 1,700 and VIP at EGP 2,250. The cheapest seat in Zayed is EGP 50 less than the cheapest one was at Ewart Hall.
Tickets are sold on Tickets Marche, listed as Meen Amin - 20 Nov. Every guest from the age of 8 needs a full ticket, and children under 8 are not allowed in. Food and drinks cannot be taken into the theatre, and cameras are not allowed. The venue lists parking, food services and security on site.
