If you go into this show with a open mind and some patience you will find a lot of good jokes and funny twists. Comics spin everything, so perhaps take his segment about islam with a grain of salt. I personally didnt like the parts where he said he kept saying he researched it, which he clearly had not. More like a quick google search, which was unfortunate.

Ramy "I researched it" Youssuf
Smart, clever
Not for Joe Rogan fans. Ramy is very chill, maybe a bit too chill, but his nuanced takes on things more than make up for it. For one so young, Ramy has funny, deep insights.
3 stars off for the horrendous camera direction. The slow, constantly moving camera that moves 180 degrees, then snaps back and starts all over again literally made me dizzy and nauseous.
some funny stuff, some serious stuff.
This is the first one.. from 2019. He talks about the jusse smollett event, where smollett allegedly made up a violent attack on himself. Lots of talk about michael jackson, and that crazy time. Labron james. Why men are pigs. Some gay jokes. Protected versus unprotected sex. Lots of religion, politics. He's funny, but may not be for everyone. It's a LOT of discussion about his (and others' ) religion, which I was taught gets people riled up pretty fast. And is probably still true today. Some funny stuff... as long as you keep an open mind. Which i guess is true of most comedians. Directed by christopher storer, who also directed the "more feelings" standup in 2024.
