About Me

My name is Kurt Ramos and I am a comic from the heart of the country - Kansas City. Growing up in the midwest has made me appreciate a lot of things. Such as neighbors that are your friends, Family, and friends. I have traveled the country doing comedy. But I always look forward to coming home to my family. I have been married for 18 years to the best wife in the world. She would have to be to put up with me for that long. I have 2 great sons 17, and 12. They give me more material then I could ever hope. Like the day when my oldest asked my "dad what does donkey punch mean". Those moments are priceless. My material ranges from family, to self deprication, to being a parent. I have enjoeyed meeting all the people that comedy has brought into my life. I hope if you in the area of one of my shows you come in on in and let me make you smile for awhile.
