Overview

Following the global success of The Middle Beast, which sold more than 100,000 tickets worldwide and saw sold-out runs across the US, Bassem Youssef brings his new live show, The Belly of the Beast Tour, to QPAC this September.

The Egyptian-American comedian, satirist and former heart surgeon has become one of the world’s sharpest comic voices, blending stand-up, personal storytelling and cultural and political commentary.

Performing in English, Bassem takes audiences inside fame, exile, identity, media chaos, politics and navigating through the absurdity of our digital age.

Smart, fearless and seriously funny, The Belly of the Beast is Bassem Youssef at full force, live on stage.
