About the show
Known as the “Jon Stewart of the Arab World,” Bassem Youssef gained fame during the Egyptian revolution of 2011 as the host of Al Bernameg, the first political satire news program in the Middle East. What started as 5-minute episodes on YouTube evolved into the most-watched show in the region, with over 40 million viewers every week.
Bassem's live stand-up show seamlessly blends his political views, stories, and experiences from his time in Egypt and the USA. His extraordinary ability to balance comedy and commentary, addressing serious issues with humor and wit while also tackling topics ranging from immigration and censorship to the current state of global politics. His comedy always promises to engage the audience in thought-provoking reflections. This is a repeat from last year for those who attended.
In a recently viral moment, Bassem engaged in an exchange with Piers Morgan, and the interviews became the most-watched segment on the Piers Morgan Uncensored show. With more than 21 million views on YouTube within days of uploading, the conversation not only crashed the internet but also sparked a global dialogue about the current dynamics in the Middle East that this tour will address.
