Club Shay Shay - Ralph Barbosa Part 1

On this episode of Club Shay Shay , Shannon Sharpe sits down with rising stand-up sensation Ralph Barbosa — the chill king of comedy with a dry wit and a Netflix special to prove it. Ralph opens up about the moment he got the call about his Hulu special, how bad he is at acting, and his hilarious (and very real) reaction to finding out Dallas traded Luka.

Raised by his grandparents, he explains why they were the best parents for him and shares memories of spending summers in Mexico, moving between different family members, and growing up as an only child — until more siblings came into the picture. He keeps it honest about his dating life, why he’s not trying to get married, and what it was like watching his mom date when he was younger.

From spinning the block on exes to red flags in relationships, Ralph isn’t holding back. In school, Ralph was cutting more than class — he was cutting hair, learning how to be a barber (and messing up a few heads along the way), fighting friends in the restroom between periods, and discovering the strange difference between barber licenses and gun licenses in Texas.

He also talks about his stand-up grind — from getting booed at his first open mic to performing at a gentleman’s club, and eventually selling out Chicago. See for privacy information.
