ANNVILLE, PA (01/09/2015)(readMedia)-- Comedian Tommy Ryman will perform for Lebanon Valley College's Friday Night Comedy Series Friday, Jan. 30 at 9 p.m. in Leedy Theater of Mund College Center. The show is free and open to the public.

Ryman's act can be described as absurdist and clever, masked behind a very likable and innocent demeanor, often thought of as disturbingly adorable. He is a favorite among audiences at top clubs and colleges around the nation, and he is regularly featured on Rooftop Comedy, SiriusXM, and iheartradio. Early in his career, Ryman was sought out by some of the nation's top comedians opening for the likes of Louie Anderson, Maria Bamford, and Nick Swardson.

Ryman grew up with a new-age, folksinging mother and a traditional, Lutheran insurance-agent father. This XY equation evidently equals: acclaimed comedian. Ryman has earned the title of Semifinalist on NBC's Last Comic Standing. Roseanne Barr, a professed fan, raves she has "never seen anything like [Tommy] before in [her] whole life, [he is] one-of-a-kind, fantastic!"

The Friday Night Comedy Series at Lebanon Valley College is sponsored by the Student Programming Board and includes upcoming performances by comedian Jarrod Harris March 13, acapella group Eh440 March 20, comedian Ronnie Jordan March 27, and will conclude with performances by DNK and We Are the In Crowd during this year's ValleyFest April 24 and 25.
