Raices Brewing Co. in Denver's Sun Valley believes its beer is just the excuse to gather, often over cultural programs like salsa dancing and language exchanges

For Ramos, opportunities to tell jokes on stage provided escape from adversity — it undoubtedly informs his exuberance for helping others find comfort in comedy.

Ramos, who was a lifelong fan of stand-ups like George Carlin and Robin Williams, got onstage for the first time at an open mic in the Hotel Boulderado while he was working for a call center in Boulder County. He says the set was a disaster, but he took it as a challenge. Soon, he was hopping around the city to get on whatever open mics he could and taking daily hours-long public transit rides from Denver to Boulder to Longmont from work, to open mics, and back home again.

His final commitment to a life of comedy was when he met his wife, Brie Ruiz-Ramos. She was attending a show at the Speakeasy in Longmont, where Ramos was hosting, and started heckling him as he was onstage. He now says she didn’t know she wasn’t supposed to heckle; she only thought she was livening up a dull room on a slow night.
