#10 Mary Ryan Brown

A singular, delightfully idiosyncratic voice in the world of comedy, Mary Ryan Brown is a wife, mother, writer, and comedian who leaves no moment unexamined. She’s a one-of-a-kind act known across social media for her characters and parodies of women across the South, and her standup blends punchy observations and layered storytelling with absurd impromptu crowd work. She’s relentless, neurotic, and bursting with eldest daughter energy. From writing to consulting to performing, Mary Ryan Brown delivers distinct, distilled language that resonates with readers, viewers, and live audiences.
