HBO Original Comedy Special RAMY YOUSSEF: IN LOVE Debuts April 17
· Award-winning comedian, writer, producer and actor Ramy Youssef (HBO's "Feelings," "More Feelings," "Mountainhead") debuts his third hour-long HBO Original comedy special RAMY YOUSSEF: IN LOVE, premiering FRIDAY, APRIL 17 (9:00-10:05 p.m. ET/PT). The special will debut on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max.
· Logline: Filmed in front of an intimate crowd at historic venue The Hideout in Chicago, in his third HBO standup special, Ramy Youssef playfully engages with the audience as he approaches a vast spectrum of personal topics, both hilariously relatable and genuinely serious, all while doing so with the belief that you can find light and hope in all things if you just try to see them through a lens of love. Whether it's his marriage, being a dog parent, AI, or religion, Ramy comes at everything with his own brand of heart and humor.
· Nina Rosenstein, EVP, HBO Programming, Late Night & Specials, quote: "Ramy's third HBO special feels like a homecoming- for him, and for us. He has this rare ability to make a room feel like it's just you and him and then uses that closeness to say something that catches you completely off guard. Filming inside a small, Prohibition-era bar in Chicago only deepens that intimacy- it has a lived-in, timeless quality to it, and the result is a special that feels completely and unmistakably Ramy."
