Bassem Feghali spends way too much time watching TV as he plans to pick his next target. He has the name of a man, but very few people know that he is one. He spends most of his time in public wearing outfits of female pop stars. His victims are often popular names from both the Arab and the global pops scene.

He won the golden medal and made waves with his unique skill, imitating, mimicking most famous stars of his day. He is well known for making funny and sometimes mockery version of popular songs for a female entertainer. He has locked down the the high pitch voice, and his customs are often a great prop.

He has been dubbed as the most famous Drag Queen in the Arab world, his mastery of transvestite art is not even canny. Aside form that, he writes most of his sketches and satire songs. People like him, have conquered the world of ventriloquism, but he seems to be content being an eccentric diva in the pure tradition of burlesque cabaret, combining glamour and humor in his performances. Naturally those antics may not agree with a lot of people especially the more traditional elements of society. But it's not all bad as has sold out shows in United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Kuwait and Oman Sultanate.
