Stand-up comedian Ryan Hamilton talks about upcoming Idaho Falls show and answers 7 Questions with Emmy

Every week, I’m interviewing fascinating people in our community, nation and around the world.

Ryan Hamilton is the star of the popular Netflix special “Happy Face” and has been named one of Rolling Stone’s “Five Comics to Watch.” He’s appeared on “The Tonight Show,” “Late Show” and several other programs.

Ryan grew up in Ashton and performing at the Mountain America Center on Nov. 30. Tickets can be purchased here.

I sat down with Ryan earlier this year and asked him the following questions:

• When did you know you wanted to be a comedian for your job?
• What do you do when you tell a joke and nobody in the audience laughs?
• You grew up in Ashton. Did you ever work potato harvest and what was that like?
• And, speaking of potatoes, what’s your favorite way to have a potato?
• If you weren’t doing comedy, what do you think you’d do for your career?
• Do you ever get stage fright and what do you do to deal with it?
• Who do you look up to in the business and why?

BONUS QUESTIONS

• When you come home to eastern Idaho, do you have a favorite place you like to visit or go eat?
• Can you tell me a joke that will make me laugh?
• Can you share a piece of advice that might help me and our audience?
