Playhouse Square Announces Ryan Hamilton and Other Upcoming Concerts

Recently named One of Five Comics to Watch by Rolling Stone, viewers are laughing along with comedian Ryan Hamilton on his Netflix stand-up special, "Happy Face." Much like Jerry Seinfeld (who he often opens for), Ryan is an observational comic who riffs on the absurdity of his own wholesomeness as a boy from rural Idaho. Ryan makes his first appearance at Playhouse Square Nov. 16 at 8 pm in the Ohio Theatre. Tickets go on sale Fri., May 3 at 11 am, priced at $32.50. (Available at playhousesquare.org and 216-241-6000.)

In 2011 he won The Great American Comedy Festival and has also been a regular performer at the Just for Laughs Comedy festivals, including Montreal and Sydney. Ryan was a two-tim, semi-finalist on Last Comic Standing. He's also made appearances performing stand-up on The Late Show with Steven Colbert, Conan, Comedy Central and Showtime.
