A performer sitting at a table in a bar dressed in an orange blouse with small black tiger stripes. She rests her elbows on the table and is holding both her hands up but dropped at the wrist like an animal claw. Her expression is neutral with a subtle glint in her eye. There are 2 old oil painting portraits of bearded men hung on the wall behind the performer.

CHRIS RYAN: Can’t complain

Comedy • Stand-up

Australian Capital Territory • World Premiere

Chris Ryan had enough time in lockdown to complain about how filthy her bedside table was but not enough time to clean it. She lives most of her life with the stance of an inmate that’s about to be shanked - some people knit, Chris scans for threats. Her special skill is making life harder than it needs to be. Still, others are worse off, so she can’t complain.

“She commanded the attention of the room effortlessly; she evoked waves of laughter without so much as a sweat… Ryan has all the wisdom that comes with life experience with little of the (boring!) maturity, and it’s fantastic.”
