Info
Bassem Youssef returns with his new show 'The Belly of the Beast', presented in English at Salle Pleyel on 22 June 2026 at 6:00 PM. Bassem Youssef is a prominent figure of political satire in the Arab world. Imagine a surgeon who swaps his scalpel for a microphone and turns laughter into his instrument. A former Egyptian surgeon, Youssef now operates on stage, dissecting society’s taboos with humour and irony. He became known for Al-Bernameg, the first political satire programme in the Middle East. Today he continues that work, embodying a voice that questions boundaries and provokes reflection.
On stage, Youssef wields humour with surgical precision, alternating between cutting punchlines and measured silences. He plays with cultural contradictions and the absurdities of our time, inviting the audience to probe the flaws and unspoken truths of our modern societies.
