(SOUTH ORANGE, NJ) -- South Orange Performing Arts Center (SOPAC) presents comedian Ryan Hamilton on Saturday, February 12, 2022 at 8:00pm. His Netflix comedy special, Happy Face, has been reviewed as “the special you can’t watch enough times.” It has been followed by a wealth of television appearances and touring.

Armed with the unique perspective of growing up in rural Idaho to become a favorite in the New York stand-up comedy scene, he’s one-of-a-kind. He’s been named one of Rolling Stone’s Five Comics to Watch and his recent appearances include The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and Conan, as well as opening spots for Jerry Seinfeld and Jim Gaffigan.

“One of the most reliably funny regulars at the Comedy Cellar, an observational comic who often riffs on the absurdity of his own wholesomeness.” –The New York Times

“It was fresh, poignant, and light-hearted without sacrificing depth.” – Forget The Box review of Ryan’s show “Edgy, Boundary-Pushing Comedian” at the 2017 Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival.

Tickets range from $28-$35 and are available for purchase online.  South Orange Performing Arts Center is located at One SOPAC Way in South Orange, New Jersey. SOPAC is an accessible cultural destination located in the heart of downtown South Orange that presents world-class artists in an intimate and welcoming environment. The mission of SOPAC is to enrich individual lives, and to engage and serve the community in South Orange and beyond, through arts experiences that inspire and transform.
