Ricky Ramos went from the streets to standup, and he's uplifting other local comedians with Vatos Locos, which will take place in Denver, Longmont and Greeley during Hispanic Heritage Month.
The festival's genesis is closely intertwined with Ramos's own comedy development over the last decade. He credits local comedy elder John"Hippieman" Novosad with giving him a crucial stylistic push early on.
"I started talking about growing up in Denver, being gentrified, being pushed out of my neighborhood, being addicted to drugs, going to prison, coming home from prison, trying to restart," he says. As his style evolved, Ramos's emerging brand of Latin comedy received positive receptions from fans, including Tamil Maldonado Vega and José D. Beteta, the founders of Raíces Brewing Company. In late 2019, they wanted to bring a comedic element to Raíces, but they also wanted to honor their shared heritage by offering material in both Spanish and English. Despite his pride in his Northside roots, Ramos was initially a bit skeptical of the idea.
