When your simple act of joy is taken for an act of spite, that's often the first sign that things are going wrong. Still, a $900 hospital bill seems like overly harsh karmic retribution for unintentionally toying with the emotions of a grocery store lot attendant. The tale in-between? Like the rest of Tommy Ryman's life, it combines accidental criminality, the influence of New Age parenting, childlike glee and a childlike body, deep Midwestern roots, and a set of intricate callbacks delivered with all the infectious excitement of a man truly delighted by an oversized bag of pistachios. Yes, Ryman's comedy career is a diversion from the family business-river and estuary activation, naturally-but he's unmistakably on the come-up. Ryman's first record with Stand Up! Records was 2011's quot;Bath Time with Tommy Ryman,quot; and in the intervening years he's honed his comic voice on stages across the country, as a Last Comic Standing semifinalist, as the quot;Best in the Midwestquot; at Gilda's Laughfest, and as a husband, used rat enthusiast, and unintentional scofflaw. He's awkward, he's spicy, and he's having the time of his life. Bonus track included exclusively with CD.
