Following sold-out global runs and continued international acclaim, comedian and satirist Bassem Youssef returns to the UK this summer with his new stand-up show The Belly of the Beast, taking place at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall on Sunday 14 June 2026.
Tickets will be available via O2 Priority from 10am Wednesday 25 February, followed by Royal Albert Hall Members pre-sale from 10am Thursday 26 February, with general on sale opening 10am Friday 27 February via livenation.co.uk.
Widely recognised as the pioneering host of Al Bernameg, the Middle East’s first political satire show, Youssef rose to prominence during the Egyptian revolution when his short YouTube clips evolved into a television phenomenon reaching tens of millions of viewers weekly.
