Richie Holliday

Funny Man Richie Holliday didn’t grow up wanting to be a comedian. He wanted to be an architect, but quickly discovered he was a terrible at math. So he took the advice of his College Philosophy Professor: “Find something you like to do then do it so well someone will pay to do it.” In early 2001, Richie Holliday tried his hand at stand-up comedy. After just two weeks of open mic, he was offered a job as the house MC and decided he enjoyed getting paid to show the world he’s not quite the genius his parents hoped he would be. Richie Holliday has already gained a reputation for his high-energy, fun-loving silliness and charisma that makes him a pleasure to work with. ?He attracts young and old with his physical humor that shows you don’t ever have to grow up, just grow older. Described by Weird Al Yankovich as Brilliantly Silly, Richie Holliday’s Charismatic and laid back persona has anchored his absurd and whimsical comedy. It’s a balance of the quirky and the common that have made Holliday a favorite! Richie Holliday weaves through the absurd and thought-provoking seamlessly. He’s shown he doesn’t need to force feed his humor, it comes naturally. The ease in which he allows people into his silly world is refreshing. Though most will identify his talents as a performer, Richie’s ability to craft a joke shows his unique thought process. Combine these abilities and you’ve got one of the most requested comics touring today. “When I was in third grade I wanted to be an architect, but I couldn’t even memorize my multiplication tables. And I can’t even draw stick figure people, let alone buildings and whatnot. That and I am really, really lazy and being an architect is hard, so enter in sleeping till noon and working for an hour at night and comedy sounded more my style”. Richie Holliday has a couple of very important things he needs to get done during a day off from the stand-up comedy circuit. One, finish the bowl of Boo Berry cereal he is eating, and two, make sure he’s not late for his tee time at the golf course.
