Just For Laughs presents: Bassem Youssef

Doors: 6:00pm Show: 7:00pm 

Bassem Youssef has performed this show before in Vancouver. This is a repeat show.

In Bassem Youssef’s one of a kind solo comedy performance, the audience is taken on a personal journey from Bassem’s career as a heart surgeon in Egypt to finding himself in the middle of the Arab Spring and becoming the host of the largest political satire show in the history of the Arab World. His jokes earned him worldwide recognition as “The Egyptian Jon Stewart,” but also got him arrested, interrogated, and ultimately prompted his escape to America just as the country was going through its very own identity crisis.

Patrons requiring accessible seating should purchase the accessible seating marked on the seat map. Please reach out to [email protected] for any special arrangements needed at the venue or if you require companion seating.
