Ryan Paulson: I'm Uncomfortable

When Ryan Paulson moved to New York City he was a husky boy. And he’d never had sex. Even with himself. How did this happen? Well, he grew up speaking in tongues in an ultra-conservative, fundamentalist church. But now he’s taking a crash course in sex, alcohol and self-pleasure. And it’s going pretty well (other than regularly being condemned to hell on My Space). It’s never too late to learn how to fuck… it’s just uncomfortable.

“It's a very funny, emotionally honest hour of standup comedy and songs... 4 Stars!" - Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

The Winnipeg Sun says, "Paulson's discomfort is a delight — and not to be missed. 5 STARS!"

Time Out New York calls Ryan's work “Categorically pitch- perfect one-man comedy.”
