CEO | CHIEF CREATIVE PRODUCER
Ryan McMahon is an Anishinaabe/Metis comedian, actor, writer & media maker originally from Couchiching First Nation & now based out of Treaty #1 territory (Winnipeg, MB).
Armed with a degree in Theatre & as one of the first ever Native graduates of the prestigious Second City Conservatory (Toronto), Ryan became the 1st Indigenous comedian to ever record a 1 hour mainstream comedy special for CBC TV when he recorded "Ryan McMahon - UnReserved" in 2012.
Ryan’s storytelling comedy style is fast paced, loose & irreverent as he explores the good, the bad & the ugly between Indian Country & the mainstream.
It's Ryan's exploration of storytelling that led Ryan to podcasting in 2008. McMahon's early podcasts led to sitcom development deals & radio opportunities.
In 2010, Ryan created Red Man Laughing and through 4 seasons of the show, the podcast was turned into a National comedy special for CBC Radio 1.
Ryan is now dedicating his efforts to building the Indian & Cowboy Podcast Media Network, the world's ONLY Indigenous Podcast Network.
