Rich Binning BIO

Rich Binning grew up in the farmlands of Ohio, in the 4-stoplight village of Montpelier. He dreamed of moving to New York City and becoming an actor. After a four year pit stop at the Conservatory of Performing Arts at Point Park University in Pittsburgh to earn his BFA in Musical Theatre, he is living his dreams.
After multiple tours of Scandinavia, Belgium, North America, and extended runs in New York (Bleecker Street Theatre) and L.A. (Coast Playhouse) with the comedy show Puppetry of the Penis, Rich then helped create and launch the world premier of Puppetry of the Penis 3D.
The 3D incarnation of the show was a massive hit at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and a subsequent UK tour followed, during which Rich made his West End debut at the Leicester Square Theatre.
Rich recently spent two months on the beaches of Hilton Head Island where he performed in the musical How to Succeed In Business Without Really Trying at the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina.
When not on the road, Rich lives in NYC with his wife, Olivia, his Welsh terrier puppy, Walter, and his type 1 diabetes.
