Ron Funches

Razor-sharp yet soft and cuddly like a baby's blanket, Ron Funches is a hugely in demand US comedian who frequently headlines shows across the US, UK and Canada. Described as “comedy's relaxing equivalent of a glass of wine in a fragrant bubble bath” by UK comedy Bible Chortle, and citing Steven Wright, Tig Notaro and Todd Barry amongst his influences, Ron's laidback stage persona is a perfect vessel for his incisive observations on everything from casual racism to raising a son with autism. Funches regularly performs stand-up on The Conan O'Brien Show and The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon and his first TV special, The Half Hour on Comedy Central, was ranked as the 11th-best of 2014 by Vulture. Now with his full hour, Giggle Fit immediately hitting number one on the iTunes comedy charts, garnering praise from the likes of Dwayne ‘The Rock' Johnson, Busy Philipps, Patton Oswalt and Seth Myers, and becoming the highest rated Comedy Central special in two years one its release, it's clear the world can't get enough of the "big cuddly teddy bear" with the soft voice and biting wit. Giggle Fit gets its' Australian release on the 13th of February through Comedy Central.
