Laura Ramoso: The Calm Down Tour

Laura Ramoso brings The Calm Down Tour to The Bruce Guthro Theatre at Casino Nova Scotia on Friday, October 2, with the show starting at 7:00 PM. If you've come across her online, you probably know her from the viral characters she built her following on — 'German Mom' and 'Italian Dad' — but she's moved well beyond the short-form clips. Since then, she's put together award-winning sketch comedy and sharp satire, and she's played out sold-out runs of specials including Diane and FRANCES. In 2024, she took Sit Up Straight on an international tour, so this is a stop on a run that's been crossing borders for a while now.

Her comedy draws on a multicultural upbringing that took her across Italy, Cameroon, Azerbaijan, China, and Vietnam. That's a lot of ground to cover, and it's where a good deal of her material comes from — the friction and the observations that come from living in so many different places. It's that perspective that informs the characters and the satire she's known for, so if you've enjoyed her sketches, this is the full-length version.

One thing to keep in mind before you head out: the Halifax date is for over-19s only, and you'll need a valid ID to get in. The show is at The Bruce Guthro Theatre at Casino Nova Scotia, starting at 7:00 PM on Friday, October 2.
