Great comedy that was very well thought out. Keeps the energy up
Bassem was hilarious. It is a good date night idea.
Bassem Youssef was very masterful with the comedy, making a variety of witty and unpredictable jokes from different angles, telling his own personal story in a lighthearted and funny manner, and weaving in repetitive elements and lines that would be intelligently wrapped around and connected from the start to the end of the show. All in all very funny and enjoyable, and relatable to the experience of being an Arab in the Western world.
Terrific performance spreading cultural humour and message!
A must see, thank you Bassem for doing this. Never give up.
This show was outstandingly hilarious with alot of jokes that has deep meanings that everyone can relate to. It's a must watch and suitable for people from any background or nationality.
Bassem's show was one of the most brilliant and best executed comedy performances I have ever seen. His charisma and warmth were on full display that night. Now only did I laugh a lot, but his performance gave me good insight into the struggles Muslims and Middle Easterns face in this part of the world. If given the chance, I would attend this show again and I'm looking forward to the release of his special.
Different from all other comedians. Not the standard 18+ jokes to get laughs. It was well rounded, structured, clean, relevant and respectfull. Loved the show and when Bassem comes back with the same show (middle beast) I am definitely going again. He promised he will come back so looking forward to that.
Best show ever! You’ll hear the truth in a very funny and sarcastic way!
Talented stand up comedian, I never laughed like that before in my life
Loved every minute of the show, didn’t like the venue though. Really hot and felt like there was no ventilation
I've been a fan of Bassem for almost 10 years and I finally got to see him in person on the stage! That was the best afternoon ever! I wish he comes back to Toronto!

Very talented. You can say he is a comedy master in Arabic.
Such a wonderful experience. Had the best and most expensive seats in the house and it was worth every penny. What a show! The best of the best.
Bassem is one of the smartest, funniest and most talented most creative comedians ever. I have laughed that much since long time. Dont want to be biased to say since his show was cancelled. 2 continuous hours of laughter. Pure comedy pure humor unforced. Cheers and laughter were so loud and left the stage with alot of energy in the air. I absolutely am waiting for the next show.
Skills are great and very engaging, content needs to be more structured and more storytelling and less dependent on arabic curses Time can be shortened to one hour only
That was unforgettable experience and Bassem is one of a kind I have been waiting for this moment for a long time
Absolutely amazing, 2 hours of pure laughter, can’t wait till the next time he’s back in Toronto.
The venue was great and the show was very nice and we enjoyed it.
