Ryan & Friends: Lifetime of Laughter
April 12 – October 18, 2025
It’s a laugh a minute when you follow your favorite funnyman and his friends through a lifetime devoted to lighthearted comedy and uplifting entertainment. Hear from his friends Harold and Irene, the opinionated grandparents, and Jeffrey, the 8-year-old wisecracker and his older (but smaller) brother. And look for cameo appearances by characters from throughout his 30 years as a ventriloquist.
In this refreshing variety show, Ryan recalls joyous memories of his early career, reaching back through the decades to his beginnings as a young entertainer. As you follow the timeline of his personal and professional journey, expect new material along with fan-favorite comedy skits and parody songs—and an uplifting message.
Don’t miss this heartwarming and hilarious musical trip down memory lane!
