Comedian and satirist Bassem Youssef brings his acclaimed Belly of the Beast Tour to Seattle for a special appearance at the Moore Theatre on Saturday, March 21, 2026. Following a strong international run from 2024 through 2026, the tour continues with an English-language show that delivers his sharp wit and unique observations.
Witness the award-winning Egyptian-American comedian, also known as the “Egyptian Jon Stewart.” From being a heart surgeon, Youssef built his reputation into a global voice, blending politics, culture, and personal experience into a hilarious stand-up performance. Expect the same hilarity that brough "El Bernameg," which earned recognition from TIME and Foreign Policy.
This live set explores life in the modern world, the Arab diaspora, online culture, and the challenges of living abroad. If you think they're too heavy for a comedy show, don't worry! Youssef's ability to break down these topics into something like a "girlfriend rant" will keep you giggling all night. Catch Bassem Youssef live at Seattle’s historic Moore Theatre. Tickets are on sale now and moving quickly.
Laugh till your sides hurt with the "Egyptian Jon Stewart"! It's official. After its successful run from late 2024 to 2026, The Belly of the Beast Tour extends to 2026 with a special date in Seattle, Washington. Get yourself out from the "belly of the beast" and join us in an English only show merriment at Moore Theater on Saturday night, March 21, 2026!
No one can wield irony like scalpel like Bassem Youssef can. Once a heart surgeon in Cairo, the Egyptian-American comedian, television host, actor and former physician is now well-known for his satirical comedy show "El Bernameg", hosting the 43rd International Emmy Awards, named on the Time Magazine most influential list under "Pioneers" category and on Foreign Policy's 100 Leading Global Thinkers, and have become the unofficial internet ambassador for the Palestine. You might have seen him in Netflix' MO, Hulu's RAMY, Paramount+'s LIONESS, and Amazon's UPLOAD. Expect sharp wit that transformed his 5-minute show on YouTube into the first online-to-TV conversion in the Middle East and the most-watched show across the region, garnering 30 million views weekly and the same hilarious satirical take and fearless humor from his global one man show "THE MIDDLE BEAST".
If you are brave enough for the boldest social commentary blended with hilarious satire and personal experiences, THIS is a must-attend. The upcoming show will dip into the Arab diaspora, a peak into living inside the beast as a citizen of "the empire", the monoculture of the online world, the frustration of living abroad for safety, navigating differences in values, politics and systems. Yes, they sound too heavy for a comedic material but this is exactly how Bassem Youssef shines. Turning topics on shadow banning, algorithmic bias and data extraction into something so digestible and so hilarious even if you've never experienced it is one-in-a-million skill.
