Nina Rosenstein, EVP, HBO Programming, Late Night & Specials, quote: “Ramy is endlessly talented and working with him on his second HBO special means the world to us. MORE FEELINGS is both deeply personal and intensely funny, and his undeniable charisma shines throughout this brilliant performance. We’re so happy that Chris Storer could partner with Ramy again. His direction brings a beautiful intimacy to the production.”
Logline: In his follow-up to 2019’s acclaimed HBO comedy special “Ramy Youssef: Feelings,” Golden Globe®-winning Egyptian American actor, writer, and comedian Ramy Youssef returns to the stage to offer his unique reflections on our divided world, the unexpected perils of charitable giving, and more. Directed by Emmy® and DGA Award winner Christopher Storer and filmed at White Eagle Hall in Jersey City, NJ, the special, from A24, sees Youssef delving into issues big and small, including the 2024 presidential election, the importance of prayer, and a childhood book report that changed the course of his life – all with his signature laid-back and affable style. Hilarious and thought-provoking, RAMY YOUSSEF: MORE FEELINGS draws on the comedian’s personal and relatable anecdotes to help us all try to make sense of our divided world.
