Youssef was the host of popular TV show Al Bernameg, the first political satire show in the Middle East. Originally a 5-minute show on YouTube, Al Bernameg became the first online-to-TV conversion in the Middle East and the most-watched show across the region, with 30 million viewers every week and more than a million subscribers to its YouTube channel. In recognition of his success, Youssef was named among Time magazine’s “most influential” list for 2013 in the “Pioneers” category, was awarded the International Press Freedom Award by the CPJ, and was chosen by Foreign Policy magazine as one of the global thinkers.

In 2024 Youssef sold over 100,000 tickets to his one-man stand-up comedy show, THE MIDDLE BEAST where he performed in theaters and arenas all over the world.

This June, Bassem Youssef brings his “Belly of the Beast” tour to the stage at GLOBE Vienna!
