Interview With Andrew Ryan

Andrew Ryan is an Irish comedian, who started gigging in 2008 and is now one of the most exciting emerging talents in comedy and in demand as both an act and an MC at the biggest comedy clubs around the UK and Ireland.

He has supported both Justin Moorhouse and Terry Alderton on their UK tours and performed his debut hour show ‘Ryanopoly’ at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2012, receiving rave reviews (‘Illuminating debut ★★★★’ – The Metro). Andrew performed his latest show 'Life of Ryan' at the Edinburgh Festival in August 2014. Andrew has performed stand-up on BBC3’s Russell Howard’s Good News and BBC3's Edinburgh Comedy Fest Live and has appeared as a guest on Sky Sunrise and as a regular panelist on BBC Radio. www.andrewryancomedy.co.uk @AndrewRyan_ - Sara Shulman is the Founder and Editor of Comedy Blogedy, TEDxUCL Speaker on 'The Power of Funny', specialist comedy blogger for Ticketmaster and blogger for The Huffington Post.
