Featuring:

Ryan Rogers refracts the world through his brazen, queer, sidesplitting humor. He’s performed all over America – harnessing his one-of-a-kind effervescence to light up any stage. “Rogers is a grinder in the mold of most successful comics,” said Andrew Comer of Offbeat Magazine. The Acadiana Advocate called his rise to stardom “meteoric.” Ryan is the founder of LGBTLOL Queer Comedy Fest, and has headlined Nola Comedy Fest, the Albuquerque Funny Fiesta, and Hell Yes Fest. In July 2022, Ryan released his debut comedy album “She Is Me” on more than 30 platforms globally to resoundingly positive reviews. The Current called it “proudly perverse.” Ryan is also the showrunner of “CHERRY!” a storytelling comedy show and national partnership with Virgin Hotels, and “STAGE FRIGHT” a spooky-themed comedy show created for Hotel Saint Vincent. Earlier this year, Ryan hosted “WITHOUT RHYME NOR REASON”a national comedy tour about mental health & suicide prevention for collegiate sororities. When he’s not performing, he’s usually taking a nap with his loving husband and co-producer, Drew at their home in New Orleans.
