When I first watched Ryan Hamilton’s stand-up on Conan, I couldn’t help but notice the similarities between him and Jerry Seinfeld. The commentary on ordinary life made funny, not to mention similar speech, make Hamilton and Seinfeld the same breed of comedian. This is the type of comedy I enjoy; one that is not brimming with obscenities and over-sharing about exes, rather, just simple comedy.

Hamilton is from small-town Idaho and has his degree in journalism (holla!) and public relations. After graduating from Brigham Young University, Hamilton spent his days as a PR professional, but his nights were used building a comedy career.

Today, Hamilton is a full-time comedian that is generating buzz; Hamilton was named one of Rolling Stone’s five comics to watch, was MVP in Just For Laughs’ “The Comedy Leagues” competition and performed in the Showtime special “Caroline Rhea and Friends.” You will certainly be seeing more of Ryan Hamilton.
