Ryan & Friends: A Comic Christmas
November 14 & 22, 2024 • December 13 & 28, 2024
If you think Ryan & Friends are funny, wait until you meet the family! For the first time ever, Ryan’s daughter Madeline will join the popular comedian and ventriloquist with some heartwarming and hilarious Christmas songs. And you’ll hear from fan favorite characters Harold and Irene, the opinionated grandparents; and 8-year-old Jeffrey, who lives in a suitcase and cracks wise at every opportunity.
This limited run, “special edition” show features even more music than Ryan’s regular shows, including new songs, parody Christmas songs with hilarious original lyrics and at least one traditional Christmas carol. You’ll hear Christmas comedy poetry recitations and commentary from Ryan’s cast of characters. Madeline joins in the songs and silliness, and you’ll be laughing along with the whole comical cast.
Welcome the holidays with lots of laughs, favorite Christmas music—and the real meaning of the season.
