On Air!

This is Beirut! is an improvisational theater performance in the form of a variety radio show. The hosts, Raffi Feghali and Fida’ “Feeds G.” Ghibreel, tackle different topics – through interviews, news bits, phone calls, stories, or other – and we see them all come to life through the multiple characters they play in the various locations they create.

This is Beirut! premiered in at Istanbulimpro in Istanbul, Turkey in 2019, during and inspired by the October Revolution in Beirut. Later on, it was performed for a private audience in Beirut before its plans of touring were hindered by the COVID-19 lockdowns. Now, the show is ready to get back on the road!
