He did a solid 2 hours, full of well thought out jokes and tons of different material the show set. Great crowd interaction and really filled the atmosphere with great energy, can’t wait for his next set! (And season 4)
Ramy’s stand up is excellent and very relatable. The show feels effortless and has a great flow from one topic to another. He also engages with the audience the perfect amount. Our phones were locked up during the show, which made it an even better experience because we were all in the moment. Highly recommend!
Ramy was hilarious! The show was awesome, the opening act was great too!
Ramy was an amazing performer. Using his real life experiences as the basis of his comedian. The jokes resinated with the crowd which made the laughs enjoyable and relatable. Venue was great. You could see and hear clearly even seated towards the back.
Loved the small intimate setting. Ramy’s jokes were hilarious and I had the best time at his show. Would definitely see him again.
The warmup act was really rough. He didn’t get Bay Area sentiment well and based judgement on outside views. His jokes were particularly cliche and it didn’t leave me excited for more comedy. Ramy was as interesting as I expected, but since he was workshopping some of the jokes and didn’t have an arch ready, it felt more comedy club test than Palace of Fine Arts level ready.
I really enjoyed myself. My family and I have been to 3 Ramy shows in and around Los Angeles and we enjoy the dialogue that is had with the different audiences and I think we get to enjoy and learn about other cultures and religions from a distinct and personal lens. Sometimes I think, culturally we all Have similar experiences. When I think of Ramys dad being skeptical of homeless people I think that’s where Ramy gets his skepticism of Autistic people. 😂 you had to be there. Next time I hope you come! I don’t know what the hesitation is for others, if there is one. But it was fun. At least my family and I think so!
Ramy was relaxed, connected with the audience, confronted controversial topics in a balanced healthy manner. Highly recommend his show 👏
Ramy was HILARIOUS! I loved every minute of it. It was all too relatable and his opener Paul was AMAZING too.
The show was great! Ramy as well as his opener Paul were both hilarious! I definitely felt represented and connected with all the jokes! Definitely looking forward to the next time he comes back to town!
First comedy show my boyfriend and I’ve been to and Ramy didn’t disappoint. We’ll see him again for sure next time he’s in the city.
Ramy was amazing. Well worth the price of the ticket.
It’s not a common thing to see a comic as smart, thoughtful and funny as Ramy and his opening acts. Steve Way was special, great timing, authentic and funny.
First, let me say the Civic Theatre was a great venue. The staff was professional, courteous, and engaging. The facilities were clean and everything was well run. I will gladly patron the Civic in the future. As for the entertainment...it was an evening of laughs and "what did he say"? At times, I wasn't quite sure if I was observing a comedy show or participating in a lab experiment. From beginning to end, things seemed off the cuff and lacked polish. Lines were often delivered hesitantly and several stories were more like video clips that lacked a beginning, middle and end. What was most disappointing about the evening was the conversation Ramy was regularly having with himself on stage. To clarify, his voice would get so low, he would cover the mic and mumble words, or drop the ends of his sentences, which caused several people around me to miss details or the whole punch line, therefore the laugh (joke) was lost. I wish Ramy a lot of success in is career and hope he continues to grow as a comedian. It takes a lot of courage to do what Ramy does. These comments are opportunities for improvement. Overall, I enjoyed the show.
I’ve seen dozens of shows at the Civic, but Ramy Youssef’s show was one of the best. Highly recommend.
Funny, personable, and engaging! Really happy to have gone to such a great show for all adults especially middle easterners. Hit the nail on the head with so many stories and experiences.
We have gone to quite a few comedy shows in the past few years, including Kevin Hart. However, this was the first time I felt like I really had a good laugh from deep down inside and can’t wait till he comes back again… Or preferably shoots his special speaking of shooting, the only downside was the crazy hecklers… We are so sorry, Ramy don’t judge us by them.
He was hilarious. Couldn’t stop laughing. Would definitely see him again
I personally didn’t watch any of his shows before. However I find him very funny and what I like is that he improvise in his jokes and not necessarily making you feel he following a script. His topics were on point and the overall experience at the house of blues was great.
Ramy’s comedy is fresh and feels like it truly comes from his soul, not based on what social media deems as funny. He’s authentic and genuine and very relatable. If you have seen Ramy the show on Hulu or Mo on Netflix, you’ll know the comedy Ramy brings to the table. He didn’t have any openers, just him on stage. And you’ll lock up your phone, but it’s worth it.
