Ryan was an advisor to President Biden’s 2020 campaign on LGBTQ+ and intersectional outreach, surrogates, organizing, and policy. He believes that politics is too important to be taken too seriously. Collectively improving our society is a lifelong effort, so we might as well make it fun when we can.

Laughter Changes Lives

Ryan has been creating odious acts of comedy since he was in braces / produces, writes and performs comedy on camera, radio, and stage.

Ryan produced the 2023 Off-Broadway debut of Tanya Perez’s one woman show, Welcome to Clowntown. The play explores Tanya’s experiences as a party clown in New York and Hollywood. The interactive experience for adults of all ages includes opt-in party games alongside the storytelling narrative, with Tanya flipping between her own story as a Latiné woman trying to make ends meet and the inner monologue of Pixie the Clown.

POLITICAL ANALYST

Not your mama's political pundit. Ryan has been a sought after expert on the political process, progressive policy, and issues affecting the LGBTQ+ community for more than a decade.
