Ryan’s one-hour Netflix stand-up special, Happy Face, has been reviewed as “the special you can’t watch enough times.” This has been followed by a wealth of television appearances and a nonstop headlining tour. Armed with the unique perspective of growing up in rural Idaho to become a favorite in the New York stand-up comedy scene, he’s one-of-a-kind. He’s been named one of Rolling Stone’s Five Comics to Watch; and his recent appearances include The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and Conan, as well as opening spots for Jerry Seinfeld and Jim Gaffigan.

“One of the most reliably funny regulars at the Comedy Cellar, an observational comic who often riffs on the absurdity of his own wholesomeness.”

Ryan Hamilton is endearing comedy lovers, and his future is bright. Named one of Rolling Stone’s Five Comics to Watch with standout appearances on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Conan, The Late Late Show, Last Comic Standing, Comedy Central, and Showtime, he’s establishing himself as one of the country’s favorite stand-ups. 

Ryan’s one-hour comedy special, Ryan Hamilton: Happy Face premiered on Netflix earlier this year. In it, the small-town import charms New York with folksy comic observations on big-city life, hot-air ballooning and going to Disney World alone. His tales of big-city life are “highly contagious” (The Comic’s Comic).

He’s often lauded for being a clean comedian, although his audiences span a broad spectrum. Growing up in Idaho, Ryan is  far from his small-town roots but the contrast suits him. He’s currently headlining comedy clubs across the country, building a following of enthusiastic and diehard fans. Recently, he opened for Jerry Seinfeld at the Beacon Theatre.

Ryan has impressed industry insiders by racking up a remarkable number of national competition wins and festival appearances, including winning The Great American Comedy Festival and Sierra Mist’s America’s Next Great Comic Search. He’s also a regular performer at the Just For Laughs Comedy Festivals with several international television performances including The Muppets Gala in Montreal and the Sydney Opera House International Comedy Gala.
