Egypt’s answer to Saturday Night Live will be performing shows all across the country for the first time.
The satirical comedy show, Masrah Masr, will be touring all of Egypt’s provinces starting from September.
The show’s creator, Egyptian comedy veteran Ashraf Abdel Bagy, said in a YouTube announcement that the first show outside of Cairo will be in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria, at the Library of Alexandria, during Eid al Adha.
The show, broadcast on MBC Masr, has gained a huge following all over the Arab world since it first aired in 2014.
