Award-winning comedian Ryan Dalton to perform two Valentine’s Day sets downtown
From Funny Business at the Millroom:
On Saturday, Feb. 14, Funny Business at the Millroom Presents two very special Valentine’s Day Comedy Shows featuring national headliner Ryan Dalton in downtown Asheville at The Millroom at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.
Ryan’s comedy has led him to regular appearances in the country’s best comedy clubs. He is a regular on the nationally syndicated, “Bob and Tom Radio Show” and his 1st comedy album, “You Were Funny Too,” is on rotation on Sirius XM’s “RawDog” comedy channel. Ryan made his television debut on the third season of Comedy Central’s “LIVE AT GOTHAM.” In 2011, Ryan made his first USO tour of Qatar and Afghanistan. He also wrote for Comedy Central’s “Roast of Charlie Sheen,” took the grand prize at the 2011 World Series of Comedy in Las Vegas and finished as a finalist in the 2011 Boston Comedy Festival.
Ryan finished as a finalist in the 2012 Laughing Skull Festival and was chosen to participate in the 2012 Great American Comedy Festival. Ryan also performed in the “New Faces / Unrepped” showcase at the 2012 Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal. Most recently, Ryan made his television acting debut on TBS’s “Sullivan and Son.” In 2013 Ryan won the $2,500 prize for the coveted ‘Best of The Midwest’ competition in Gilda’s LaughFest 10-day Laughter Festival.
Special guest for the evening is comedian Sonya King. Sonya can be found sharing her deadpan style of comedy with audiences all over the country. Her slow paced delivery mixed with a very quick wit, equals funny! She’s been featured in Smart Magazine, performed on Good Morning America, The View, and is in a movie coming out this summer called Two Days Back.
