Yossi Zabari

Das sagt der/die Künstler:in:

Yossi Zabari is a queer Jewish-Arab performer, comedian, and writer from Israel, now based in Switzerland. For over two decades, he has performed in Hebrew and English, headlining stages across Israel, Europe, and the United States. His work blends stand-up comedy, spoken word, and storytelling, often incorporating live, original music and collaborations with ensembles to create bold, socially engaged concerts.
Drawing on his experiences as an Israeli, an Arab-Jew, a queer person, and a gay father living abroad, Zabari explores identity, politics, and belonging with humor, honesty, and nuance. He has appeared on Israeli television as both a comic and spoken word artist and regularly performs at festivals, universities, and cultural institutions.
His work is unfiltered and incisive, balancing European class with some Middle Eastern sass.
