Ramy Youssef announces August tour stop at the Fillmore

Whether he’s quietening the chaos in an episode of FX’s The Bear or chatting with an audience on Late Night with Seth Meyers about the “Christmas industrial complex,” Ramy Youssef knows how to hit a nerve.

The Egyptian comedian-actor-director is on his American-Canadian tour, which began June 16 in Milwaukee. Youssef will be meeting his Philly fans Aug. 11 at the Fillmore. The venue announced Youssef’s visit via Instagram on Thursday.

You may know Youssef from his Hulu series Ramy, where he plays a fictionalized version of himself struggling to live a spiritual life and navigate what it means to be a first-generation Egyptian American Muslim. But before he hit TV gold, Youssef was riffing at comedy clubs, later landing a gigs on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and an HBO comedy special.

With Youssef’s three seasons of Ramy and the Netflix comedy-drama Mo, in partnership with Palestinian comedian-actor Mo Amer, under his belt, it’s his endearing gutsiness that has won him a Golden Globe, Peabody, and other awards.

In September, Youssef will star alongside Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo in Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things.

While there aren’t many details available about the Fillmore show aside from a no-phone policy, you can expect Youssef to get personal, spiritual, and funny.

Tickets are available online for $40.50 to $50.50. Doors open at 6 p.m.
