Full Time Quitter

Ryan Erwin treats walking away from conventional work less like an occupational failure and more like simple self-preservation. Working through a resume that includes middle school teaching, a retail stint at Target, and living in his sister’s basement as an adult, he uses his 45-minute set at Wiseguys in Ogden, Utah, to explain why comedy is the only job he is constitutionally capable of keeping. Released by Comedy Dynamics in 2025, the performance leans into bouncy, theatrical self-deprecation, detailing the specific exhaustion of classroom management and the mechanics of stumbling into romance at an airport Chili’s.
