Bassem Youssef at Beiteddine Festival

Egyptian heart surgeon-turned-satirist Bassem Youssef left Egypt in 2014 after his megahit show El Bernameg (The Program) - on which he sarcastically criticized top polls of all stripes - became too dangerous to produce.

Named as one of the world’s 100 Most Influential People by Time magazine in 2013, Bassem Youssef presented a special Bernameg for his Lebanese fans in Beiteddine!
