Ramy Youssef in his HBO Original comedy special 'Ramy Youssef: More Feelings'
is tired of apologizing. In his new HBO special, the 32-year-old comedian jokes about how he often has to prove that Muslim men are not inherently violent. After Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, he says he received a call from a friend a few days later, asking: ‘Yo bro, where are you at with Hamas?’ His response is exasperated, but sharply funny: ‘Where am I at, like, are we f-cking? Am I a member?’, which debuts on March 23, Youssef wades through heavy topics with equal parts levity and empathy.
I never want to do comedy that feels like it’s critiquing others without critiquing myself. That's been a rule for me. This special is definitely a more full embodiment of that idea. There's a hope I have that if I could lay out what's going on and how I think about it, that maybe I can be someone that makes harder things a little softer to digest.
I try to bring a little bit more dimension, a little bit more humanity, and am less focused on judgments or lanes. I’ve never written anything that didn't have a gay character. I've never written anything that didn't have a Muslim character, I think it's really important that we see people not as headlines.
What do you say to those who argue withholding support from Biden is like helping elect Trump, who will just put the Muslim ban back in place?
