Overview

Ryan has been performing since 2006 in various sketch, musical, and improv comedy routines as well as an event emcee and pastor. With this background, Ryan made the jump to stand-up comedy and has been traveling and performing since at clubs, colleges, churches, corporations, and anywhere else. Ryan's comedy is clean and has material for all ages and any setting.

Ryan also has an entire set of material for marriage conferences and retreats, with jokes that focus on marriage and sex and the conversations around it-never crass or inappropriate but definitely a set for adults. Always looking to bring couples closer together through laughter!

Relevant and hilarious comedian

I booked Ryan for a comedy night at my church and he not only brought the house down with his comedy, he was very professional, personable and the crowd absolutely loved him. The room was packed and everyone in attendance wished his set was longer.

Church Banquet Entertainment

We had Ryan Voorhees at our church banquet as part of our program for the evening. He did an excellent job. He was prepared, easy to hear, and had a pleasing presence. He was well received by our congregation and had an excellent original monologue that made us laugh. He is bright, fun, and can bring humor in a religious context.

ACTC Comedy Show Hit

Ryan was the opening act for our comedy show here at Ashland Community & Technical College last year. Ryan was great! Had everyone laughing, and engaged through his whole performance. If you’re looking for a comedian I would definitely recommend him, you won’t regret it. People are still raving about it at the college.

About

Married father of 2 that had worked in the corporate world and as a pastor. Winner of one of the Funny Bone’s Clash of the Comics and top 3 overall 2022. Ryan has been performing since 2006 and has used his mixed background in church, corporations, and normal everyday life to build material and find the funny in all types of situations. Ryan loves bringing people together with laughter. Being able to help people unwind and just let go with the power of laughter is a gift that Ryan is always honored and humbled to share with anyone that brings him in.

Additional booking notes

Ryan can provide sound equipment, if necessary, but generally just needs a microphone and PA system to be heard. Indoor shows are best, but outdoors can be done too. Proper lighting to see the performer is required whether that is stage lighting or room lighting. Having people sit as close to the stage and closer together is always better for a comedy show. 50 people close together is better than 100 people spread throughout a room.
