Mohamed Helmy Kicks Off MBC Comedy Tour with Jeddah Eid Shows

Egyptian actor and comedian Mohamed Helmy is launching his latest comedy tour with two back-to-back stand-up performances in Jeddah on April 3rd and the 4th. Held at the Ritz-Carlton Jeddah, the shows mark the start of a new collaboration between Helmy and MBC Group, and are timed to coincide with Eid Al-Fitr celebrations in the Kingdom.

Best known for his roles in Egyptian cinema and television, Helmy has recently expanded his comedic repertoire with a move into stand-up, tapping into Saudi Arabia’s growing appetite for live entertainment. His tour reflects a broader shift in the Kingdom’s cultural scene, with comedy shows, concerts, and theatre events becoming regular fixtures across Jeddah and Riyadh.

The Jeddah shows are expected to set the tone for upcoming stops in other Saudi cities, as Helmy brings his trademark humour to live audiences across the country. Ticketing and further tour details are expected to be announced soon through MBC’s official channels.
