The University of Findlay will host comedian Ron G at 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 28, in the Alumni Memorial Union. Community members are welcome; tickets are $1 at the door. Ron G describes his comedy as “high energy and clever with an urban flare.”

Ron G graduated with a dual degree in finance and management from the University of South Carolina. After deciding that he didn’t ‘fit’ into the corporate world, Ron G got up on stage for the first time in Atlanta, Ga., at his cousin’s urging and got ‘booed’ severely.

He calls that “the best and worst day of my life - the day I fell in love with comedy.” He has been performing ever since at clubs, colleges, churches and corporate events across the country, entertaining people while staying true to his commitment to clean humor. His performance presents down-to-earth humor and funny characters.

Ron G began his stand-up career in Atlanta, Ga., and was crowned first-place winner of the 2005 Sierra Mist Late Night Laff Off. After moving to Los Angeles to further his career as a comedian and actor, he was a finalist on the TV show with Bill Bellamy, “Who’s Got Jokes,” and was also a finalist on the most recent season of NBC’s “Last Comic Standing.” Ron G also was chosen as national spokesperson for Checker’s & Rally’s Restaurants.

“I want to represent the new generation of comedians that get overlooked.
I’d like to show the world the new generation is just as funny, clever and talented,” said Ron G.
