Ontario: Ryan Joyce

I first had the pleasure of seeing Ryan perform in 2001 at the CAM Stage Competition where he earned himself a silver medal. Ryan's shows have raised over 2 million dollars for various charities nationwide.  Have a peek at his promo reel below, to see him in action.




Ryan's currently touring Ontario.  You can catch him TONIGHT (March 24) in Kitchener and TOMORROW night (March 25) in Niagara Falls / Welland. Both shows will be presented in support of The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada. He also has dates in Oshawa, Georgetown, Owen Sound and Sutton.

Visit his website to purchase tickets or for more details about show times and locations.
