Come along and chase away those Monday blues with some genuine belly-laughs. After warming up with some fun and interactive games and scenes, our improvisers bring the 1950’s Film Noir genre to life on stage using audience suggestions in our improvised Murder Mystery. Heroes with blackened hearts and dames with revenge on their mind… everything is completely improvised each week, and no two stories are the same. Join us amongst the murky underworlds where crime and passion cross swords and you’re never far from a man in a hat. ★★★★★ *‘First, kudos to the first team performing improv out of thin air. It was spectacular! I truly had a good laugh, and an amazing experience, the Film Noir performance was outstanding, witty, funny, and mostly thrilling, perfect for the genre, well done to everyone who made it happen.’ – Meriem Demil* [Register here](https://courtyardplayhouse.com/event/monday-night-comedy-this-is-impro-film-noir-improvised-mon-1-jun-2026/)

Stop Guessing Your Next Move. Start Designing Your Career With Intention. Many capable designers quietly plateau. Not because they lack skill, but because no one defines what “next level” actually means. **The HCD Pro - Career Strategy Workshop is a structured 2-hour interactive workshop for product, UX, research and service designers focused on career growth and progression.** Participants will be introduced to a modern Design Capability Standard and complete a guided self-assessment across key areas such as craft, collaboration, influence, and commercial thinking. They will leave with a clear understanding of their strengths, development gaps, and a practical roadmap to progress to the next level in their careers. If you want clarity instead of guesswork, structure instead of ambiguity, and measurable growth instead of vague ambition, this is where you start. **Early Bird: AED 499 (20% off) — until May 8** **Limited to 20 seats** Please contact [jonathan@hcd.ae](mailto:jonathan@hcd.ae) if you have any issues with completing payment or have any further questions.

Don’t. Need. Another. Qualification.** You need… flow. At some point, the next breakthrough does not come from learning more.

The Baraka Client Flow System™ has helped me personally build a 5 to 6-figure consulting business which has allowed me to do what I love full-time, travel the world with my family, and make an impact. **We focus on 3 core pillars:** 1\. Baraka Authority Positioning you as the clear, trusted authority in your niche so the right clients take you seriously from the start. 2\. Baraka Client Flow Building a consistent stream of qualified opportunities through the right messaging, visibility, and conversations — not just “more leads.” 3\.
