Yes, that is me above- in an ad campaign for Magrack Video On Demand. It was on many subway cars and I couldnt wait to see my head graffitied.
Ronn Vigh, so-sexy-it’s-difficult-to-not-jump-his-bones-while-he’s-on-stage, brings his unique brand of comedy to clubs, colleges, and airport lavatories all over the world. His brash attitude and acerbic wit have earned him a comparison to a young Joan Rivers by SF Weekly. Well, if she were male, gay, and didn’t shoot Botox by the pound.
He was featured on NBC’s Last Comic Standing II and in 2005 founded and still co-produces the successful “Harvey’s Funny Tuesday’s” weekly comedy show at Harvey’s in the Castro District of San Francisco. No stranger to the comedy and alternative scene, he recently hosted Palm Springs Pride, headlined the Lake Tahoe Gay & Lesbian WinterFest, 10th Annual Michigan ComedyFest, and the list goes on and on and on--much like when Ronn speaks.
His one man show 98 Pounds of Fury enjoyed a successful run, appeared in the Off-Broadway smash hit 10 Naked Men, recently hosted coverage for the SF GLBT Pride Parade and gained much attention for a controversial off-the-cuff comment about bisexuals.
He’s played Joan Rivers at Comedy Noir’s Jesus Roast, a gay Elvis Presley in a Vegas.com commercial, and a science geek in a Magrack ad displayed in NYC subways. Needless to say he’s versatile (in many ways).
He’s been heard on the radio waves and a frequent contributor to shows such as "Fernando & Greg" on Energy 92.7Fm, Shake Radio on 960 Am The Quake and Live 105’s KGAY Weekend in San Francisco.
His biggest accomplishment to date: working as a flight attendant and never smother any of his passengers with a pillow.

Influences
My ex wrote this when we were dating. I kept it up be cause it is funny. Not as funny as something I would have written, but nonetheless, funny!
My biggest influence came from my best friend and personal savior jesus christ (he lets me call him JC). It was that one day that I was walking on the beach with him, but when I looked back I saw only one set of foot prints. Then I realized it was because he was carrying me.
I would also like to give a shout out to Hello Kitty for making those awesome pencil box’s, and to alladin bail bonds for getting me out and getting me through it.
Oh yea, and to my boyfriend, who found that I had not completely logged out of myspace and wanted to return the favour of some editing of this profile.

14 nuggets of joy involving Ronn Vigh:
*I just turned 30 and got my ears pierced (makes me look younger) and grew a moustache (makes me look like I'm on "To Catch a Predator")
* I was born & raised in New Jersey, so I often pronounce words such as "cawfee" and "wada" and "dead body"
* I'm such a lucky guy, on my 30th birthday I got not one, but two Fudgie the Whale cakes. Next year, I'm shooting for a CookiePuss cake and angry sex with my ex!
* I split my pants open on an airplane while wearing no underwear. Yes, there was a whole lot of manbasket freefly flowing through the cabin. Talk about extra nuts!
* I've become a yoga teacher and started listening to my body more. But, it keeps telling me that it wants Boys & Vicadin.
*Pigeons often have sex outside of my bedroom window. Its oddly soothing sounding at times.
*I once bumped into Tom Hanks and spilled his martini on him. I offered to pay for his dry cleaning but he declined stating "I can pay my own!" Showoff.
*The only line of credit I can afford is actually a Platnium card- from The Bank of Narnia
*I once bowled a 299 when I was a high school bowling champ. I even had 4 bowling balls with my name engraved on each of them. I even have all my teeth still
* I often have dreams that I am naked and at McDonalds. That's right...showing The Full McNugget.
* I am a former flight attendant and once saw a woman breastfeed her kitten on one of my flights. It's true. Believe me. I looked over and all I saw was titty and kitty.
* I often jaywalk. Well, I do that thing where there is only 3 seconds left so I run across the street halfway to establish myself, then walk the rest of the way.
* I went to Catholic High School but was never touched in inappropriate ways. (Which totally sucks because I could use the cash now)
*I'm a child of showbiz legends.... my mom is Lucielle Caltado. Look up some of her fine work!
It's a work in progress...but we're all having fun working on it!!! Check it out!
