Tommy Ryman (born March 17, 1983) is an American stand-up comedian[1] who was a semifinalist on Season 8 of the TV show Last Comic Standing.[2] After getting his start in the Minnesota comedy scene, Paste (magazine) named him one of 12 Great Stand-Up Comedians from the Midwest.[3] In 2015, he won Best of Midwest at Gilda's Laugh Fest.[4] In 2018, he was invited to perform at the Great American Comedy Festival at Johnny Carson Theater [5], first performing there in 2010[6]. In 2016, he was named "Best Local Standup Comedian" by City Pages[7]. He refrains from off-color humor, instead relying on observational comedy, sarcasm, and satire; in doing so, he gained recognition in 2018 on VidAngel's Dry Bar Comedy Season 3 series entitled Activated[8].
Personal
Tommy married his wife, Megan, in 2013 and the ceremony was officiated by comedian and actor Rob Little[9]. They reside in Redondo Beach, California[10]. His mother is folk singer-songwriter Barb Ryman[11]. His early comedic inspiration came from the late Mitch Hedberg.[12]
