“Ryan Bomgardner is a ventriloquist and comedian par excellence. His material, dialogue, comedic timing, quick wit, and musical talents are extraordinary."

-Reverend Steve Schuessler, Pastor of Edgewood Assembly of God, Edgewood, MD

“…Had so many people tell me that in the 14 years … Ryan and Friends was the “best ever”. We can’t wait for our next opportunity to have you back again.”

Alan Aylor, Executive Pastor, Hillside Community Church, Alta Loma, CA

As a popular comedian in the U.S., Ryan receives over 500 performance invitations and accepts 130 of these annually. Whether it's his laugh-crazed family show or his dynamic corporate gigs, there are two things his audiences have come to expect: a clean show & sidesplitting comedy! His list of clients includes Fulton Bank, Tyson Foods Inc, University of Maryland and his fans include kids and CEO's alike.

Ryan graduated from the Maher School of Ventriloquism in Colorado and is a member of the North American Association of Ventriloquists where he gets to hang out with other cool guys who play with dolls.

He's been around too. You may have seen him in the Cincinnati Inquirer or the History Channel. He’s toured the USA performing for thousands at all Youth Specialties Conferences in 2009. He’s performed at CreationFest, Parachute Fest in New Zealand, and many more. Ryan was awarded the prestigious title of “Artist in Residence” of Sandy Cove Conference Center and hosts a “Ryan & Friends” regional TV show with the 3rd season airing in 2010. When he is not performing live, Ryan writes humorous articles for publications and produces a second Christian animated video series.

The Cast: Ryan's pals include Ardy a skunk; Harold & Irene, some old friends; and Jeffrey, the eight-year-old self-proclaimed star of the show. Get ready for laughs, tears, and maybe a few 'harmless' insults. With that kid in the driver's seat, anything can happen!
