Ryan Cox is an Asheville-based stand-up comedian whose relaxed delivery weaves twisted storytelling with crafted punchlines. Sweet, Southern and a little absurd, Ryan finds the funny in the middle of everything — middle age, middle ground, and middle America. His PG-13 style blends heart, wit and a touch of existential humor about family, technology and staying human in weird times. Fresh off his Dry Bar Comedy special “Sweet Spot,” Ryan has performed for audiences nationwide and opened for Reggie Watts, Pete Lee, and Beth Stelling. Ryan hosts Home Planet with Ryan Cox, a podcast that explores the creative process through intimate conversations with comedians, musicians, and artists from all walks of life. From clubs to alt rooms and theaters, Ryan delivers laughs that sneak up on you and stick around for the ride.
