Bryce Edwards BIO
BBryce Edwards is an actor, musician, visual artist, and nouveau vaudevillian. From an early age his imagination has been captured by the jazz and pop music of the 1920s and early 1930s. In his acclaimed show, The Bryce Edwards Frivolity Hour, he attempts to channel his passion into reviving some of that long lost intangible quality of the jazz age, and igniting interest in an all too often overlooked era of music that, despite being nearly a century old, still bubbles with humor, beauty, and an often defiant, youthful energy. Taking cues from the crooners of the era, as well as the bombastic voices of the acoustic phonograph era, Edwards accompanies himself on a myriad of instruments, including banjo, ukulele, tenor guitar, and mandolin. In between musical numbers, Edwards gleefully delivers snappy dialogue and witty banter, providing a timeless night of entertainment and fun.
When Bryce is not performing his Frivolity Hour to continuously sold-out audiences, he can be found toting his banjo throughout the city and the greater tri-state area (most regularly with the Rivertown Vintage Jazz Band), performing in and providing original songs for projects such as Ayun Halliday and Greg Kotis’ Necromancers of the Public Domain, and the serialized audio drama The Forgotten. He has appeared with Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks, and is a fan favorite at Jim Caruso’s Cast Party. Bryce has appeared in numerous musicals, most notably as Dickon Sowerby in Little Radical Theater’s production of The Secret Garden. He has played a young Taylor Mac in the original NYTW reading of Taylor Mac’s The Fre, and a young Phil Geoffrey Bond (William Curtis III) in Bond’s original play Small Town Confessions. You can catch Bryce in the independent film, The Seasons, winner of the Hamilton New York International Film Festival, 2023, where he also provided a multitracked doo-wop backing-vocal on Paul Schwartz’s original song, My Valentine.
Bryce graduated summa cum laude from Baldwin Wallace University with a BFA in classical acting and minor in studio art. Bryce is also a freelance illustrator and is available for hire. Follow him on instagram @gobbydafoo
