The Butterfly Effect Tour brings together comics Ralph Barbosa and René Vaca for a night of comedy you won’t soon forget. The tour – originally meant to include comic Ken Flores – now carries on in honor of him. Don’t miss out on this night of laughs and remembrance.
One of the shyest attention hogs to ever do comedy, Ralph Barbosa’s disarming and laid-back style has made him a stand-out on stage, on TV and online. Most recently, Ralph taped his Hulu comedy special that will release in 2025. In 2024, he was nominated as one of Variety’s 10 Comics to Watch. After a breakout year in 2023, Ralph is touring theaters in 2024 and 2025 with his North American theater tour, Ralph Barbosa: The Super Cool Ass Tour, which is selling out and adding shows. This included selling out two theater shows during Netflix Is A Joke Fest 2024, as well as hosting the kick-off Introducing show. On October 31st, 2023, Ralph premiered his Netflix stand-up special, Ralph Barbosa: Cowabunga, which ranked as the #3 TV show on Netflix throughout its first week on the service. In January 2023, he made his debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, his Comedy Central Stand-up Featuring: Ralph Barbosa set has topped 5.1 million views on YouTube. In November 2022, Ralph starred in the HBO Max comedy special, Entre Nos: The Winners 3, and earlier that year his Don’t Tell Comedy performance was released on YouTube and now has over 5.7 million views.
