General Info

  • TV Shows

    "Your L.A," "It’s a Miracle,"

    "Anderson Cooper," "Court TV," "Paula Zahn," "Celebrity Justice," and I was re-enacted on The E Channel," but most of this had to do with the Michael Jackson Trial where I was a prosecution witness which has nothing to do with me being entertaining and/or funny.

  • Films

    I am highly prone to video blogging and far too searchable on You Tube.

    For example:

    Para Gliding
    Fiesta: The Mystery of the Eggs

    Monopoly: Like The Game But Faster

    And this Piece which went on to become a Santa Barbara Film Festival Feature, "We Played Marbles: Remembering a Stolen Childhood"

  • Albums

    I own a lot of them.

  • Bio

    I work with kid comedians and enjoy making and posting little films and parodies like this...

    Life of C’Ryan


    I was born in in Buffalo, NY, and I was cold, so I grew up and moved to Los Angeles.

    I wrote The Weekly Top 40 Countdown for Rick Dees at KIIS-FM where I dulled the pain by co-founding Premiere Radio Networks with Tim, Ed, Steve and Kraig. We successfully grew the company and sold it to Clear Channel.

    This felt like a good time to take some giant steps backward and become a comedian.I perform stand-up in and around Los Angeles, I teach comedy to children at The Boys & Girls Club, I co-host a radio show called Talk It Over with Diane Dimond and Lee Jay Berman.

    I’m producing and directing a documentary on The Cowsills, (the real life family behind The Partridge Family)
    I finished my first documentary, "We Played Marbles: Remembering a Stolen Childhood" which premiered in 2008 at the Santa Barbara Film Festival.
    Our radio show, Talk it Over, can be heard on KERI Radio in Bakersfield/Fresno and at our website, talkitoverradio.com.
    What else? I produce a weekly live comedy shows in Santa Barbara, Thursday nights at Stateside, 1114 State Street.

    I Wrote a book called "Journals" which is available on Amazon.com, by clicking right here
    Journals

    I have a cool stand up comedy program for kids called Kids Comedy Club which you can find by clicking on The Youngbloods of Comedy in my top friends. (I let them name themselves. Bad idea)


    I also tithe, floss and try to remember to call my Mom.
    And that’s enough about me. Go read your email.
