Graham Chittenden's brilliance is matched only by his modesty. With the energy of someone younger, the wisdom of someone older, and the look of someone his own age, Graham is trying to explain the universe and he prefers to do it for a room full of people. The result: Comedy, good comedy, laugh ('til you hurt) comedy.
Now Magazine describes him as "Silly and Sureal" and "One of Canada's top comedic talents." Ryan got his start as an improviser at the famous Loose Moose Theatre Company. Winner of the Canadian Comedy Award, and the Phil Hartman Award, Ryan was also the youngest comic to ever tape his own Comedy Now!
He has made countless film and television appearances in North America including Comedy Central's Live at Gotham, CBS The Late Late Show. He starred in Fox's sitcom Life on a stick, National Lampoons Going the Distance, Disney's Stuck in the Suburbs, and CBC's The Sean Cullen Show.
A crowd favorite he has appeared five times at the prestigious Just for Laughs festival in Montreal, and Halifax Comedy Festival. Recently Ryan starred in the award winning family film Finn on the Fly In which the Toronto Star said "It's impossible not to like him", and the Globe and Mail said "The Real treat is the shaggy-dog performance from Belleville"
