Bassem Yousef returns to Dubai for comedic live show

Egyptian American comedian and satirist Bassem Youssef makes a welcome return to Dubai for a special solo comedy performance on the 16th of November at Coca-Cola Arena.

Once a heart surgeon in Cairo, his career took a dramatic turn in the middle of the Arab Spring when he found himself at the centre of political upheaval.  With wit as sharp as his scalpel, Youssef went on to host the largest satire show in the history of the Arab World. 

After years of building a global reputation, Youssef brings his powerful blend of satire and storytelling to Dubai through his latest performance, “Bassem Youssef Live,” where he venture on his journey of cultural identity, resilience, and the absurdities of politics and everyday life.

“Dubai has always been a city close to my heart – a place where cultures, ideas, and people from all over the world come together,” shares Bassem. “I am so excited to bring this show to the UAE and to share stories that I hope will resonate in a city that thrives on diversity and connection.”
