An Arabic Night with Bassem Youssef

Acclaimed satirist and cultural icon Bassem Youssef brings his unique brand of political comedy to Miami. An Arabic Night with Bassem Youssef arrives at The Fillmore Miami Beach on Friday, June 13 for an 18+ show that promises to blend sharp wit with cultural commentary.

The performance takes audiences on a journey through Youssef's career trajectory—from his early days as a heart surgeon in Egypt to becoming the host of the most popular political satire show in Arab World history during the Arab Spring. His one-man show delivers personal stories and insightful observations with his signature satirical style.

Widely recognized as the "Jon Stewart of the Middle East," Youssef's influence extends far beyond comedy. Time Magazine named him to their "Pioneers" category in their most influential list for 2013, the same year he received the International Press Freedom Award from the CPJ and was recognized as a global thinker by Foreign Policy magazine.

Beyond his stand-up success, Youssef has established himself across various media platforms. His children's book series The Magical Reality of Nadia was published by Scholastic and is being developed as an animated series. Viewers may recognize him from appearances in popular streaming shows including Netflix's MO, Hulu's RAMY, Paramount+'s LIONESS, and Amazon's UPLOAD. His 2023 interview with Piers Morgan gained worldwide attention, becoming the most viewed episode in the history of Piers Morgan Uncensored.

This Miami Beach performance is part of Youssef's broader The Middle Beast Tour across North America, produced by Live Nation.
