For over thirty years, Since 1978, Ritch Shydner has performed and written comedy. In the 198's, Ritch made numerous
appearances on TV, including Late Night with David Letterman and The Tonight Show with both Johnny Carson and Jay
Leno. He did an HBO half-hour special, "One Night Stand." He played Al Bundy's co-worker on "Married with Children",
and made guest appearances on many other TV shows, such as "Designing Women" and "Roseanne." Ritch was able to
translate his modest success on TV into an even more obscure film career, appearing in Steve Martin's, "Roxanne," and
Eddie Murphy's, "Beverly Hills Cop II," before moving on to smaller pictures. Ritch wrote for sitcoms such as "Roseanne",
"The Jeff Foxworthy Show," and HBO's "The Mind of the Married Man." Ritch wrote material for Jeff Foxworthy's Grammy
nominated comedy albums,"Totally Committed," and "Big Fun." He also wrote for Ron White and Jay Leno. In 2006 Ritch
was co-author of a book on stand-up, "I Killed - True Stories of the Road from America's Top Comics". In 2010 Ritch
produced and starred in an award winning documentary on the world of stand-up comedy, "I Am Comic". In short, Ritch
worked hard at avoiding work for years, giving up any dreams of stardom for the satisfaction of being the best comic in
his price range.His love for the laughter got him into this business. Now the love for his children is going to keep him in it
for years to come. Do you need a stand-up comedian? Ritch can entertain any English speaking audience, seated to face
the stage with a clean and proven act. Do you want to make a script, an act, or a speech funnier? Ritch can write the
humor and coach you on its performance. Do you need a suitcase packed with freshly minted hundred dollar bills
delivered anywhere in the world? Ritch has a passport and a desire to accumulate frequent flier miles. So, take advantage
of Ritch's talents and experience before foreign agents lure him away with promises of free land, warm siestas and fat
goats.
