Naperville native Chris Ryan takes the next step in his return to stand-up with his all-new show, NOTHING MEANS ANYTHING. Last year, after 20 years away from the stage, Ryan performed three runs of his hour-long show, THERMOMETER, to sold-out crowds in Indianapolis and Chicago. Leaning on his experiences growing up in a “fully detached home” with some farkakte family dynamics, Ryan explores the pitfalls of parenting twins, the awkwardness of adolescence, and his own 90,000-miles-and-counting ride as the Irish half of a commuter marriage with his Jewish wife. Yeah, there’s a lot to unpack.
