Ramy Youssef - The comedian on his new special More Feelings, connecting with the Palestinian cause, and finding laughter in vulnerability
SANYA MANSOOR
Ramy Youssef

You've taken on more diverse projects recently. What else can we expect?

I'm chasing a few different ideas: some directing, some acting. A lot of my favorite artists started young, but made my favorite work of theirs once they were closer to 40. I'm not quite there, but I'm starting to understand why.

You don't shy away from talking about therapy and intimacy. What was it like leaning into that kind of vulnerability? 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 [premiering in March 2024 on HBO] 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.

WHEN KABUL FELL TO THE TALIBAN, RETURNING Afghanistan to the fundamentalist group's control, women who did not flee faced a reality in which they could no longer be who they are: journalists deleted evidence of their work, artists destroyed their creations, and graduates set fire to their degrees.

SHARING GRIEF AMID WAR

Spring and early summer are difficult times for both Israelis and Palestinians. Israeli Jews move from Passover, the holiday of freedom, to Holocaust Memorial Day, to Memorial Day for Fallen Soldiers and Victims of Terror, to the triumphant celebrations of Independence Day. The days pass with rituals intended to give us a shared meaning as a society and to inculcate and frame Israel's official narrative.
