Laugh and ION out the weekend

Weekend Inspiration

Roar with Laughter
Get that belly-laugh going at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. See the side-splitting stand up performances including this year's winner Celia Pacquola, hurry to get tickets! Slow coaches who miss out, head to The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged), London's longest running comedy, which features all 37 Shakespeare plays in 97 minutes.
When: Melbourne Comedy Festival: Tonight - Sat, 8pm. Tickets at Gatecrash. Complete Works of William Shakespeare: 28 July - 2 Aug. Tickets SISTIC.
Where: DBS Arts Centre & Drama Centre Theatre

Keep Calm and Carry On
So if you haven't already hit the ION this week, head early to avoid the crowds this weekend. Don't miss the mad hatter store experience at Very Wooonderland (B3-12), preppy charm at Fred Perry (B3-01) and the luxury store experience at IWC (02-06) . And don't forget to refuel and recharge, so you can shop on.

Bargain hunters head to the expo Lifestyle Value 2009 where you will find a massive flea market, along with bargains in automotives, electronics, spa & beauty, sports apparel and wedding suppliers.
When: Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 11am -9pm
Where: Singapore Expo Hall 4

Climb the walls
Do you suffer from Orchard Road rage? Perhaps you need to climb the wall - literately. Hit the world's tallest indoor Via Ferrata climbing wall, the first-of-its-kind in Asia inside the new Orchard Central mall. Adventure seekers can get their adrenaline fix by climbing wall the 5 storeys or 30 metres wall - and don't worry - it's considered safer than other climbing sports as you climb up rungs instead of rocks.
When: Daily. 2 hours slots from 12 noon. $20-$35.
Where: Orchard Central, starting from The Exchange @ Level 4.

Speakeasy
Take a trip back in time, and head to Speakeasy. This intimate bar evokes the 1920 speakeasies that sprung up all over the US during the American Prohibition on alcohol. With a great wine list (over 40 labels), some familiar labels and some small-production, quirky wines, prohibition-era cocktails and premium beers, this is a perfect little bar for a Friday or Saturday drink.
When: Wed-Sat from 6pm
Where: 54 Blair Road, Singapore (The green shophouse on the corner)

Cat Craze
Feline Friends, check out this year's Cats of the World photo exhibition for some feel good furry feelings. Running for its third year, this non-profit photo exhibition showcases light-hearted snaps of cats all over the world, and raises funds for the Cat Welfare Society, purrfect!
When: until Sunday, 10-10pm.
Where: The Arts House, 1 Old Parliament Lane, Singapore
