We were impressed by the laughable and thoughtful content that was layered through Ramy's standup.
His slow paced style with long pauses reflected his capacity as a comedian to hold an audience, and he managed to throw in some spontaneous comedy based on audience responses which was high calibre. He also has a mesmerising stare which worked well for cinematic effect.
He leveraged his ethnicity as a central theme in the comedy in a thoughtful way. He occasionally made you think about society through the comedy rather than just throw jokes for jokes sake.
7/10 mostly because he was often funny, but didn't quite hit that hilarious level I would reserve for a higher rating.

Manson tries to convey to us practical wisdom from his life and the modern era that is controversial and confusing.
His narrative is one of first world drama where he discovers himself. It's okay, but not very well thought out or scientifically backed. I think one would do much better watching an Alain de Botton TED Talk.
True some ideas are better placed in a motion picture narrative. Here the Director has used a mixture of 1980s BBC clips and B-grade acting scenes. It just hasn't cut the mustard for this critical reviewer.
For a better experience I'd suggest 'Ravi Patel's Pursuit of Happiness' (2020)
