Bassem Youssef, an internationally known champion for free speech in Egypt, visits campus Wednesday, Oct. 29, as part of UC Berkeley’s commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Free Speech Movement. The media has compared Youssef to comedian Jon Stewart, whose late-night TV program, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, inspired Youssef to start his career as a satirist and columnist.
At 8 p.m.,Youssef will appear onstage at Zellerbach Auditorium, in conversation with Chancellor Nicholas Dirks, in an event titled “Bassem Youssef: Free Speech and Social Change.” The dialogue is part of the Berkeley Talks series.
