Ramy Youssef Tackles AI, Religion, Love

Ramy Youssef's third HBO comedy special, "Ramy Youssef: In Love," premiered on April 17, 2026. Directed by Chris Storer, known for "The Bear," the special was filmed at Chicago's Hideout. Youssef's performance covers a wide range of personal topics, from marriage and pet ownership to artificial intelligence and religion. He approaches these subjects with a blend of humor and sincerity, aiming to find light and hope within them.

The comedian's material touches on timely issues, including the misuse of AI on social media. Youssef also humorously recounts his experiences related to Saudi Arabia, highlighting a perceived lack of invitation to a comedy festival there.

This special builds on Youssef's previous HBO work, "Feelings" (2019) and "More Feelings" (2024). His acclaimed Hulu series "Ramy" ran for three seasons, and he has also been involved with other projects like the Netflix series "Mo" and the animated comedy "#1 Happy Family USA."
