Im a young seattle based stand up comedian. Im basicly just that anoying kid you had in your math class (or english) who made fun of people, but I do it on stage. I draw my meterial from my every day life (then throw in some made up shit to make it funny). Here is a small reveiw type thing from Peter Greyy, show producer of ComedyNight, funny comedian, pop culture master, and all around cool guy."There have been many other underaged comedians-but many of them are stuck to the words of their meterial-like they’d learned their act as if it were a school play and they’re just reciting their lines. Ryan isnt like that. Ryan is aware of whats going on around him. Ryan is "in the moment" as we say." That basicly means I can smack down hecklers. I have preformed at places as Giggles Comedy Club, Comedy Underground, Capital Hill Arts Center, North Bend Theature, The Mirabeau Room, Mr. Spots Chai House, The Highliner, The Hawks Nest Bistro, Shakibra Java, Unity Theature, and soon at The Univesity of Washington. Im a Giggles Comedy Club "All Star", a ComedyNight cast member and former headliner, A Laff*Hole alumni and headliner, and I placed 4th place one year and 2nd place the next year in the Seattle Laff Off.

Kicking ass and every once in a while taking names. Saying really random things, Example: If I had a third niple I would name it Sir Micheal the third, or If I spelled my name with a z I would be ryanz. Im getting way off topic what im trying to say is I want to be called Sir Ryanz the third.

I was nominated for the 2008 Utah comedian of the year award If you would go to http://www. slweekly. com/?s=1078 and vote for me (and also the improv group i work with called off the wall) it would mean so much.
