Get ready for an unforgettable night of laughter, storytelling, and cultural pride at Ricanstruction: Not Just a Comeback — It’s Ricanstruction, the debut one-man comedy special from seasoned stand-up comedian Rafael Gee — taking place Saturday, October 18, 2025, at 5:00 PM at Comedy In Harlem, one of NYC’s premier comedy venues for diverse voices.
Rafael Gee is a proud Puerto Rican comedian from Brooklyn, New York, who has spent the past 25+ years performing across the country. Known for his sharp wit, high-energy stage presence, and deeply relatable humor, Rafael brings a refreshing and powerful perspective to the world of stand-up. His stories are rooted in identity, resilience, and the everyday experiences of growing up Boricua in the boroughs of New York.
Now, after decades in the game, Rafael is stepping into the spotlight for a deeply personal and historic moment: the live taping of his first-ever comedy special. This is not just a performance — it’s a full-circle celebration of legacy, laughter, and Latino representation.
🎤 ABOUT THE SHOW:
“Ricanstruction” isn’t just a catchy title — it’s a declaration. A rebuilding. A reclamation. Through punchlines and powerful anecdotes, Rafael reflects on his journey from open mics to sold-out showcases, from struggle to self-empowerment. This special shines a light on the Puerto Rican experience with humor, heart, and Harlem grit.
Expect jokes about family, NYC life, identity, relationships, fatherhood, and what it means to push forward as an independent artist of color in today’s comedy industry. Whether you’re Nuyorican, Caribbean, or just love a good story with soul, this show speaks to everyone who believes in bouncing back stronger.
