About this listen

Ryan Doyle grew up with an Irish Catholic grandmother, strict rules, and a constant sense of doing everything wrong. Then he went to clown school in France where they insult you, f*ck with your head, and force you to face the fact that people are going to hate you...


What You'll Learn:

  • How Catholic guilt and shame actually become creative fuel
  • How clown school trains you to stop caring what people think
  • The cut-up technique: stealing text from anywhere and sculpting it with the delete key
  • Why his fiancée is his only audience before anyone else sees his work
  • Gremlin Day: one day a month with zero rules, pizza, weed, and Real Housewives
  • The Hindu priestess who gave him a flower that unblocked his throat chakra
  • How he's working 10-12 hours a day on one insane show after years of being scattered

About Ryan: Ryan Doyle is a writer, performer, and clown creating Free Speech, a one-hour show that performs every type of speech possible. He does typewriter poetry at weddings, wrote a board game over seven years, and paints himself green to sing Rat Pack songs as a goblin.
