Born and raised in upstate New York, Bryan moved to Austin twelve years ago, where he has lived ever since. While attending a small, insufficient college (Bryan just misspelled 'insufficient', thus proving his point) he began hitting open mics and quickly established himself within the local comedy scene. His brand of quiet, insightful, and often light hearted comedy eventually gained not only local recognition, but also national recognition when he was asked to perform on Comedy Central's new talent program 'Live At Gotham' in 2007. Since then Bryan has won the prestigious 'Funniest Person in Austin' contest, and has opened for names such as Doug Benson, Marc Maron, Dave Attell and Mike Birbiglia. Most recently, Bryan was asked to open for legendary comedian David Brenner at the famous Wheeler Opera House in Aspen, Colorado.
