Ryan Niemiller moved to Los Angeles in order to entertain crowds with his unique brand of comedy. Born with a disability in both arms, the self-proclaimed "Cripple Threat of Comedy" shares his views of the world from the perspective of the handicapped. Ranging from dating to finding employment to family issues, Ryan is not afraid to speak his mind. Ryan has been getting his face and nubbs out there in the Los Angeles area, as well as all throughout southern California, performing at such venues as the Ice House, Hollywood Improv, Ontario Improv, and Irvine Improv. He has worked with many of the top in the business already, including Carlos Mencia, Christopher Titus, Brad Williams, and Eric Schwartz. With his quick wit, great timing, and a gimmick that only he can exploit, Ryan hopes to prove to the comedy world that he may be unarmed, but he is dangerous.

About me:
I do standup comedy. I also dabble in some other things, like just standing up. Not necessarily doing comedy while I stand, but just being upright. Enjoy being vertical. Try it sometime. It'll change your world.
I'm also probably the most handicapped guy you know. And if I'm not, I don't want to be your friend, as you hang out with way too many cripples.
I'm also always accepting bookings, so if you'd like me to do a show, just let me know!
Who I'd like to meet: You rascals.
