Laugh out loud and get a fresh look at Lancaster County—and life in general—when Ryan and his comical cast take our stage in this season’s sidesplitting show. Ryan gets an ear-full from witty 8-year-old Jeffrey, who lives in a suitcase and travels third class on airplanes, along with wise grandparents Harold and Irene (at least they think so) and animal friends Ardy the Skunk and Randy the Rooster—hilarious and high-energy friends who barely let him get a word in edge-wise.
This uproarious multimedia variety show from Ryan & Friends combines a comedy routine with song parodies in styles ranging from country to Broadway – all featuring popular comedian, ventriloquist, musician, and all-around funny guy, Ryan and, of course, his friends.
Enjoy an uplifting mix of wholesome comedy with musical entertainment.
