The Idiot Box Presents Ryan Cox

Ryan Cox is an Asheville-based stand-up comedian whose relaxed delivery blends twisted storytelling with sharp, crafted punchlines. Fresh off his Dry Bar Comedy special Sweet Spot, Ryan’s material has garnered millions of views across streaming platforms. A road-tested comic of over a decade, Ryan has performed nationwide in clubs, theaters and alt rooms. His distinct voice blends heart, wit and a touch of existential humor about family, technology and staying human in weird times. Ryan has featured for Reggie Watts, Pete Lee and Beth Stelling. He hosts Home Planet with Ryan Cox, a weekly podcast exploring the creative process through conversations with comedians, musicians and artists from all walks of life. Sweet, Southern, and a little absurd, Ryan finds the funny in the middle of everything — middle age, middle ground, and middle America.
