DSS Brings Another International Stage Show This Summer With ’Bob The Builder – The Sunflower Sailor’ Show In Al Ghurair City

Bob the Builder, the renowned children’s television character, will thrill children in an exciting show titled ‘The Sunflower Sailor’ at Al Ghurair City, a DSS 2009 key sponsor, on Thursday, July 23, 2009. The show is one among the many international children’s stage shows being organised during this edition of Dubai Summer Surprises.

As the building contractor specialising in masonry, Bob will appear with his colleague and business partner Wendy, and Spud, the mischievous scarecrow. The ‘Sunflower Sailor’ is based on a story where Wendy clears her garage and Bob helps her use some of the old materials to build a boat, an idea suggested by Spud. The three then set off on a sailing adventure.

Bob the Builder shows how a positive attitude, problem-solving, teamwork and follow-through are the necessary tools to complete every job and he has become a role model for children to build on. The ‘Sunflower Sailor’ will be a twenty-minute musical show with spectacular stage settings.

Show timings are 6:00pm and 8:00pm (Saturday to Wednesday), 5:30pm, 7:30pm, and 9:30pm (Thursday and Friday). There will be no shows on Tuesday.
 

Bob Arno, Professor Of Pickpocketing, To Perform In Dubai This DSS

The World’s only legal pickpocket, Bob Arno, will let loose his lightning fast fingers to perform his maiden comedy show in Dubai during this Dubai Summer Surprises. Bob Arno will enthrall audiences with his uncanny knack of stealing neckties, suspenders, glasses, belts, other pocket contents, and watches, in front of audiences during his only show on July 3 at the Safinah Ballroom, Jumeirah Beach Hotel. The show begins at 9pm.

Time Magazine has called Bob Arno “the World’s foremost expert on the techniques of first-rank ‘wires,’(the slang term for pickpockets). Years of research and first-hand observation of street scenarios have made him an authority frequently consulted by police, security experts, and television producers.

Bob artfully blends the comedy and tragedy of thievery in his outrageous presentations. Illustrated with demonstrations and brought to life with his unique video, he explores and exposes the methods and motivation of street thieves and con artists. The artist’s show during DSS will be his first such commercial performance in the Middle East.

Bob Arno is a speaker, entertainer, author, and special lecturer to law enforcement agencies. With his wife, Bambi Vincent, he is also co-author of the book: Travel Advisory: How to Avoid Thefts, Cons, and Street Scams.
