Eddie Izzard coming to Dubai, as Sean Lock cancels
Eddie Izzard
Dubai - Arab Today
Out with the old, in with the new – stand-up superstar Eddie Izzard is coming to Dubai, as Sean Lock cancels his appearance, on the same day, at the same venue.
Lock was set to launch new stand-up series DXB Laughs, at Dubai World Trade Centre on April 27.
But at the same time as breaking the bad news, promoters Done Events revealed will instead be welcoming Izzard.
It’s hard not see the new booking other an an upgrade, with globe-trotting, whimsy-struck Izzard enjoying a substantially higher public profile than cerebral Lock.
Izzard’s blockbuster Force Majeure tour has been on the road since 2013, visiting more than 30 countries, so expect material road-worn to the bone.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris.

The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
