Ramy Youssef: More Feelings

Ramy Youssef returns to the stage to offer his unique reflections on our divided world, the unexpected perils of charitable giving, and more.

The HBO comedy special is up for Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on TV at the 2025 Golden Globes and was nominated for a 2024 Emmy for Outstanding Picture Editing for Variety Programming. In Chicago Sun-Times, Richard Roeper hailed Youssef as “a genuine, brilliant and calming presence who makes us laugh a lot, think quite a bit and maybe even feel a little bit better about how we still have much in common despite all our differences.”

Youssef was previously nominated for Lead Actor and Directing Emmys for his comedy, Ramy, as well as for a Directing Emmy this year for his work on The Bear. He also starred in this year’s four-time Oscar winner Poor Things and hosted Saturday Night Live earlier this year.
