Nutty Irishman

Ryan McCormick

Stand Up Comedian, Sit Down Typist

Ryan began his stand-up career by begging his parents to let him stay up and watch Johnny Carson’s monologue and perform those jokes the next day at school. Stealing did not last long, as Ryan started to write his own material and performed it in his Economics class during his senior year of high school. During college, Ryan performed a few times, and not long after college, he performed at open mike nights at a local comedy club.

His first paid week was April of 1989 as the Emcee. Soon after, he moved into the Emcee/Open slot and the rest is…well you know. Having performed at clubs, colleges, and corporate events throughout the Midwest, Ryan brings his likable stage persona to Northern California, where he relocated in 2014. Covering a wide range of topics, Ryan easily weaves a nice clean comical slant on dating, marriage, divorce, children, and his most proud accomplishment — being a cancer survivor. In the nearly 30 years Ryan has performed, he has grown substantially as a performer and is sure to please.

Ryan is available for Corporate Events, Festivals, Retreats, and other large gatherings seeking comedic entertainment.
