Ryan Bennett interview

Ryan Bennett @beniciodelryan hails from Flint, MI, a predominantly black area (even the water was black). Now in LA, he’s a comedy fixture, delivering stories so personal they’re borderline TMI. Picture your shameless buddy at the party, telling wild tales. He’s the brains behind the award-winning short Rob Is Terminal (writer/director/star), popped up on Dead Silent (Investigation Discovery), and blew up on Instagram (@beniciodelryan) with his Porta Potty Lifehack reel—4.3 million views and counting.I met Ryan while hosting the weekly Friday open mic at flappers in 2013 and then when he would show up at fourth wall open mics with me. I always admired Ryan's ability to go off the cuff improvisationally and write punchy material and learned a lot from watching him. It was awesome to talk to him about all things psilocybin, Michigan, working in restaurants, libertarianism, biohacking and comedy as well as his taste in women. Thank you so much, Ryan! You can catch Ryan all over town at clubs here in LA. By the way, as you can tell, he was a huge hottie when he was a teenager, probably would have made Michael Jackson's list of favorite people. Ryan's favorite comedians are Bill Cosby, Louis CK and Ian Ira Rousso. Just kidding. He actually likes David Smith.
