Randy Ross - Speaker, Performer, and Author

I am a lecturer, comedian, and novelist. My material is geared toward adults, particularly those who like fiction, live theater, and humor. I have lectured and performed at colleges, literary events, writing groups, as well as theater festivals around the U.S., and Canada.

I am easy to work with and reliable. (For fifteen years, I was a senior editor/senior manager for PC World magazine.)

Randy Ross is a Boston-area writer and performer. His fiction, humor, and erotica have appeared in The Drum, Black Heart Magazine, Side B Magazine, and Calliope, among others. He is the author of two novels: God Bless Cambodia (The Permanent Press/2017) and The Squid and the Spaceman (Epsilon Books/Oct. 2024). His one-man shows have been featured at more than 30 theater festivals around the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.

In 2007, Ross took a trip around the world and learned to say in three languages: "Speak English?" "Got Pepto-Bismol?" and "Where is the evacuation helicopter?" His shows and novel God Bless Cambodia were inspired by the trip.

Previously, Ross was an executive editor for PC World magazine. He is currently writing a third novel, and touring his new show, Tales of a Reluctant World Traveler. As a member of Boston's Fort Point Arts Community, Ross has produced and hosted live events in Boston's Seaport. He holds a masters in journalism from Northwestern University.

My Tales of a Reluctant World Traveler if available as a live online Zoom event. The show includes a humorous travel slide show and live story telling and comedy.

For live performances -- if we ever have them again:

For audiences fewer than 50 people, I will not need a microphone. The show will be like live theater. (The Chronic Single's Handbook is satiric play.)

For boisterous audiences larger than 50 people, I will probably need a microphone. (If you have a wireless mic, I can move around and act more. But it's not necessary.)
