On episode 5 of We Own The Laughs w/ Tyson Paul, Los Angeles comedian Francisco Ramos sits down with Tyson as they talk about Francisco’s early life moving to America from Venezuela, how not fitting well with improv brought him success in stand-up comedy, how early success in acting and comedy doesn’t mean it will always be that way, working with SNL’s Lorne Michaels and HBO Max, and how comedy with politics will affect the world for the next few years. Ramos also gives us some of her hilarious comedy preferences. Filmed by Rickey Bird Jr. of Hectic Films.
