Sami Khayat

Sami Khayat (Arabic: سامي خياط) is a Lebanese francophone theater comic actor, director and writer.[1] He is considered one of the pioneers of comic theater in Lebanon.

He began his artistic career with a play he presented in 1960, entitled Molière Hugo and Sofocole. His plays were classified as satirical lyric theater,[2][3] known as the chansonnier.[3] He duetted with Pierre Chamassian from 1973 until 1986, and once again in 2013.[4]

In 2020, he was awarded the French Medal of Arts and Literature with the rank of Officer, in recognition of his theatrical work in the French and Franco-Lebanese languages for 60 years, which he did not stop even in the midst of the Civil war,[2][5] and honored on several occasions in Lebanon by The Gebran Tueni Foundation and Fakhruddin Foundation.[2][6]
