Ramy also co-created and executive-produces MO on Netflix, which won the Gotham Award for Best Breakthrough Series in 2022. It also won the Peabody and made the AFI list that year.
Hilarious! Will definitely see him again the next time he comes by Toronto.
It was awkward to see someone promote Hamas' response to the Palestinian apartheid and oppression, as a warranted attack on Israel, while on a stage named for a prominent philanthropist that disapproved of extremist and supported dialogues of peace. Just as awkward was the crowds support of his ideas.
I was rolling over laughing in my seat. He’s funny, relatable, positive energy and he even interacts with the audience. I will be attending his stand up again if I get the chance. 10/10
Incredible. Works the crowd, hillarious take on life, unapologetic for all of who he is. He was just the best. And he makes sure his openers are from marginalized populations and underrepresented people in the comedy world. He's just..... simply the best.
I always get a bit nervous when I see a standup pull out their notebook but Ramy is one of the finest talents out there, making jokes off the cuff that had the entire audience doubled over. The material as always was poignant, important and powerful.
The show was perfect. Ramy is a comedic genius and he brought out amazing opening acts. Highly recommend 10/10
