Mohammed Magdi: Escaping Egypt in the Arab Spring I 290

Lost in America

Egyptian comedian Mohammed Magdi lives in exile in Hong Kong after escaping Egypt in 2012. Due to his involvement in the Arab Spring protests from 2011-2012, and the reaction from the government in it's aftermath, his home country became an unsafe place for him to live. Today, he tells the entire story of how he got involved in the protests, how he made it to China and every step along the way.

Mohammed tours the world performing comedy and most recently appeared on Comedy Central Arabia's "Stand Up!" in Dubai. https://www.mohammedmagdi.com/
