Ryan Goodcase
Okay, here’s my life story…
But only because you asked. I was raised as a quiet, young boy in the humble Midwest, and learned to speak into a microphone in order for my voice to be heard. You can hear that voice on Netflix is a Joke Radio or my full length special on YouTube, "Maybe They're Dead," which at the time of writing this has 146,000 views. Go watch it right now and you can make it 146,001. I am also popular on TikTok and Instagram, where millions of people have watched and reacted to clips of my comedy. I was one of nine up and coming comedians Netflix included in their comedy festival's "Introducing..." showcase, which you can watch on Netflix's Youtube page.I also joined the likes of Dana Carvey, Doug Stanhope, and Sinbad by winning the San Francisco International Comedy Competition in 2021. You might also recognize me from a series of comedic Bed, Bath & Beyond commercials where I play an apathetic sales associate (my lawyers have assured me that my performance had nothing to do with Bed, Bath & Beyond's filing for bankruptcy. If it sounds like AI wrote this, it's because I am as smart as a computer.
