Ramy Youssef is serving in his first year as the Artistic Director of the festival. He is too young to drink, so his selection came as a surprise to no one, as he was the only person sober enough to direct this year’s festival. He is half of the award winning New York sketch duo Inside Joke Films, who have been official selections at the Chicago, San Francisco, and New York Sketch Comedy Festivals and champions of Chicago’s Snub Festival and UCB NY’s Backyard Brawl. In his personal life, he is Aron Kader’s little brother, Laith Nakli’s godson, and Dean Obeidallah’s stalker.
