For over 20 years, John Ryan has travelled the world garnering awards as a comedian. John has entertained British troops across the globe and is a highly popular act on cruise ships, as well as appearing at countless major venues in the UK.
John’s previous work in Community Care, coupled with a health-based Master’s Degree, were put to great use when he decided to combine his skills to become the UK’s first men’s health-based comedian.
Five years ago John started a company called ‘Happytohealthyou’, believing that if you make people laugh, you make them listen.
Since then, he has taken his concept into companies, colleges and arts centres, using his innovative health-based humour to great effect.
From May 2021 he will be joining Men’s Radio Station, founded by theatre impresario Howard Jameson & award-winning broadcaster & author Russ Kane. John’s new show. ‘Reading The Signs’ will blend humour and pathos to create a unique programme.
