SNL Star Emil Wakim Is Coming to Beirut!
After becoming the first Lebanese-American cast member on Saturday Night Live (SNL), Emil Wakim has quickly made a name for himself with his sharp wit, effortless charisma, and relatable storytelling. His comedy blends personal experiences, family dynamics, and cultural identity, making audiences laugh while reflecting on what it means to grow up between two worlds.
The comedian is now bringing his stand-up special My Way to Beirut for the very first time. The early show has already sold out, and a late show was added due to demand. If you don’t want to miss out, make sure to book your tickets here while you still can!
The performance will take place at Awk.word Comedy Club on Wednesday, July 22. Doors for the late show open at 10 PM, with the show starting at 10:30 PM.
We’re excited to see one of comedy’s fastest-rising names perform live in the country. We’re looking forward to his observational comedy, personal stories, and the cultural humor that has helped him build a growing audience on and off SNL.
Check out his debut on SNL’s popular Weekend Update segment back in 2024:
