A shoutout to my son’s school for allowing me to come and tell some tales at the end of the year last year! He is the one on the crowd in the orange shirt. We took a nice photo after:

They did a superb job of socially distancing the kids and still allowing the kiddos to have a great time! This coming year he is looking forward 2nd grade and I will look forward to hopefully telling more tales to his class!

This Tuesday is a doozy – but at least I can spend the day on the Cape! Please note the library shows so you can come out and have a few giggles on me!

Meet Calvin and Hobbes! After we lost Brodie Bruce this past July my wife and I were on the lookout to adopt a kitty or two. Since we still have my favorite little lady kitty, Potter-Girl, we weren’t sure if we were looking to get just one kitty or two.

Thanks to the rescue organization, we were given the opportunity to adopt this brother and sister pair. This litter had 5 kittens (including 2 Calicos) and we just couldn’t resist making sure at least this brother and sister stayed together. For now, they are getting acclimated to the house and soon we will be able to introduce these two to Potter.

I will keep you updated!

I stumbled across some old photos of Big Ryan shows from the past. This is from a show early in the Big Ryan history. I remember distinctly, this was at a Plymouth Preschool where I had previously worked. They were always so supportive and asked me back to perform multiple times. The building, while there, is no longer a preschool.

We’re wrapping up this round of RAR next week but some live shows are also beginning this week! Both Kingston Library and Plympton Library are both open to the public! So come on out and enjoy!

After a year of being shut down I am both ecstatic and excited to announce that I have been scheduling shows for the summer – both virtual AND in-person! Dates are filling fast so if you’d like to book something please give me a call at (508) 641-5336 or email me at ryanstalltales@hotmail.com

I can’t wait to see everyone and hear the laughter from the little ones again! It’s been a blast doing things on Zoom but I usually have to keep people on mute so I don’t get to hear the laughter. Needless to say, it’s been too long since I’ve gotten to hear any audience feedback!

So, call me or email me today to book a show!

Follow me – I tweet, therefore I am!
