Netflix has announced that the first local production out of Middle East, Adel Karam: Live from Beirut comedy special will launch on Thursday, March 1 exclusively to all Netflix members worldwide.

In this special, where Adel goes back to his hometown to appear at Beirut’s renowned Casino du Liban for the first time, he will tackle everything from relationships to social issues that most Arabs face everyday with his local blend of humour, the release stated.

Adel will reportedly talk from personal experience about how Lebanese people love kissing each other, their passion for food, hospital classifications, marriage advice and much more.

With its growing stand-up comedy special slate, Adel now joins comedy stars such as Gad Elmaleh, Jack Whitehall and Dieter Nuhr in Netflix’s effort to bring international talent to its global audience.
