Recently named One of Five Comics to Watch by Rolling Stone, viewers are laughing along with comedian Ryan Hamilton on his Netflix stand-up special, "Happy Face." Much like Jerry Seinfeld (who he often opens for), Ryan is an observational comic who riffs on the absurdity of his own wholesomeness as a boy from rural Idaho. Ryan makes his first appearance at Playhouse Square Nov. 16 at 8 pm in the Ohio Theatre. Tickets go on sale Fri., May 3 at 11 am, priced at $32.50. (Available at playhousesquare.org and 216-241-6000.)
In 2011 he won The Great American Comedy Festival and has also been a regular performer at the Just for Laughs Comedy festivals, including Montreal and Sydney. Ryan was a two-tim, semi-finalist on Last Comic Standing. He's also made appearances performing stand-up on The Late Show with Steven Colbert, Conan, Comedy Central and Showtime.
