Meet Our Comedian and Emcee

1 of 2

Ryan Niemiller

Ryan Niemiller, a disarmingly handsome comedian and 3rd place finalist from America's Got Talent Season 14 will be taking the Horizon Stage at Hello Inclusion! Despite being born with a disability in both arms, Ryan, the self-proclaimed “Cripple Threat of Comedy”, shares his views of the world from his own perspective. His comedy covers topics such as dating, trying to find employment and attempting to find acceptance in a world not designed for him. With his quick wit, good looks, great timing, and a gimmick that only he can exploit.
