Booking Hoss Ridgeway

Their stand-up

Ridgeway first performed stand-up at a youth ministry conference in 2003, a ten-minute routine he did after friends urged him to take the stage that night, and he has been booked across the country ever since; as a boy he first came across old records by comedians such as Jerry Clower, the Grand Ole Opry member.

His clean comedy has taken him to churches, comedy clubs and cruise ships in 40 states as well as the Dominican Republic and Uganda, and he has appeared on The Huckabee Show on the Trinity Broadcasting Network. He recorded his Dry Bar Comedy special in Provo, Utah, a goal he has called a bucket-list thing.

He is also the senior minister of Turning Point Church in Franklin, Indiana, and he describes his clean comedy as free of cussing and of rude or suggestive comments, built on family stories.
