Testimonials for Chris Ryan

“She seems to be one of those rare comedians that are so good at what they do, and so comfortable doing it, that they make comedy seem easy. She commanded the attention of the room effortlessly; she evoked waves of laughter without so much as a sweat… Ryan has all the wisdom that comes with life experience with little of the (boring!) maturity, and it’s fantastic.”

BMA Magazine May 2019

 

“Chris was in total control from the moment she hit the stage, a comedian with a unique outlook and broad appeal.”

Justin Hamilton, Head Writer Show Me the Movie (Network Ten)

 

“Chris Ryan – was absolutely brilliant, working collective crowd touch points and making the fine line of discomfort and hilarity bleed into one with total mastery.”

Grapes of Mirth, Orange (2020)

 

“Unapologetic and ruthlessly clever, one of Canberra’s funniest people.”

Chris Ryan is a former journalist, mother of two teenagers and one of the most exciting new voices on the Australian comedy scene, winning Best Newcomer at the Sydney Comedy Festival in 2019.

In 2019, Chris performed comedy for the Australian troops in the Middle East and toured from Darwin to Tasmania, through regional New South Wales and Queensland with the Sydney Comedy Festival Showcase Tour.

Chris co-hosted the Qantas Australian Tourism Awards in 2020 and has been a panel guest in Girls’ Night In at the Canberra Writers Festival, sharing the stage with the likes of Jean Kittson and Jane Caro.
