Egyptian-American comedian Bassem Youssef will take the stage at Dubai's Coca-Cola Arena for a special solo comedy act on November 16.
Once a heart surgeon in Cairo, his career took a dramatic turn 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.
"Bassem Youssef Live" will see him 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," said 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."
