"Ryan Stout, a straight-arrow-looking kind of guy, shocks the crowd into laughter with his inventive interplay between innocence and a jarringly twisted point of view. He goes from loony to weirdly logical. With him, it's more than clever writing; his comedy is based on clear and clever thinking."
	---Ben Fong-Torres, almost famous writer and broadcaster (Playboy, GQ, Esquire, Parade, Rolling Stone, etc.)

"Very funny... I like this kid. I think he's the real deal."
	---Kevin Pollak, National Headlining Comedian / Film Star (The Usual Suspects, A Few Good Men, Hostage, etc.)

"???????????????????????"
	---A Korean Newspaper, I don't know why a Korean newspaper would write in Chinese characters. Go figure.

"Reminds me of an older, balder, less attractive me."
	---David Feldman, Three-time Emmy Award Winning Writer (Dennis Miller Live, Real Time with Bill Maher, etc.)

"...a very impressive comic."
	---Zach Galifianakis, Quote Giver and Humor Specialist (Comedians of Comedy, Comedy Central, Jimmy Kimmel Live, etc.)

"He's one of my favorite up and coming young comics; very talented, very funny, and very professional."
	---Molly Schminke, Talent Coordinator for The Punch Line Comedy Club(s), San Francisco and Sacramento, California

"Myself and a group of other comics and producers were in the back of the room and we all laughed ‘til it hurt. I don't know how many jokes Ryan told in the course of his set, but it just never stopped, well written jokes from top to bottom (NO FILLER).  I would highly recommend this act to anyone interested in stand-up comedy done the way it should be."
	---Todd Paul, Talent Coordinator for Off Kilter Productions

"...a deceptively funny act. Just on the edge of tasteless, and sometimes over, he brought it around with high-minded segues and a high-concept twist. He's got polish, not just to his timing and delivery, but to his professional deference."
	---The SFist, San Francisco Exposition Analysts
