“If you have not seen comedian Ray Lipowski yet, you are in for a big surprise! This Chicago native proudly boasts he is married to a BEAUTIFUL black woman.”

Did you notice the capital lettering for the word “BEAUTIFUL”? See, she was sitting next to me so I have to write that. I am in love with my wife, this I know because she told me that I was. My wife also wears the pants in this relationship and no, I’m not scared to admit it. Yes, she is sill next to me. No, no I’m kidding. I’m a comedian. I wear the pants, she just get what’s in my wallet. That is true. She is no longer sitting next to me. We have two gorgeous daughter and they both have GOOD HAIR. Yes, I just said that. Well, that’s what her family always says anyway.

My comedy is the best of both worlds — not black, not white — but true. I started my comedy career back in 2000 and have been blowing up clubs, colleges and comedy rooms ever since. Entering a comedy contest with absolutely no experience — not even touching a mic — I took 3rd place. This is no small feat since this particular competition was only open to seasoned veterans and established comedians. BET’s “Comic View” took notice and placed me on as a regular for three years (where I received standing ovations).

In 2005, I was asked to perform at P. Diddy’s “Bad Boys of Comedy” featured on HBO. The now available DVD release includes my performance featured for the nationally aired commercial to promote the DVD release, in addition to numerous magazines.
Additionally, I’ve toured Europe the last four years performing for troops stationed in Germany, London, Ireland and Amsterdam, as well as the locals.

Currently, you can see me in the Comedy Central show “Russell Simmons Presents Stand-Up at the El Rey,” hosted by JB Smoove.
Yes, my comedy is in your face. Brash as well as bold, but most of all it’s true. I’ve entertained to sold-out crowds of 2,500, to shows of 25, to audiences of 10. It doesn’t matter how many people are there, I just love to make people laugh. Look out America, a star is about to be born!

~ Marion Sanford, Director, University of Mary Washington

“I want to extend my heartfelt “thank you” for all you did in helping us host Ms. April Ryan as our 2018 MLK, Jr. keynote speaker. Ms. Ryan was absolutely amazing last night!! She was captivating, insightful, and delivered a powerful message with words of hope, love, and a call to action to the audience. They were utterly enthralled by her presence and presentation.

I would like to also add that I thoroughly enjoyed the pleasure of meeting Ms. Ryan. She was so personable, pleasant, down-to-earth and very gracious and accommodating with the guests. She was patient with each question and stayed until every person had their book signed or picture taken. I would not hesitate to have her visit our campus again. I was so impressed and grateful for her contributions to our campus community in this role, but even more so for the work and accomplishments she is making in journalism, politics, and keeping integrity in the profession.

Lastly, I would like to acknowledge the wonderful and professional work of Ms. Kim Lowery in her role in ensuring a positive and successful program. She was thorough in providing the details of the travel itinerary and ensured that we had all the information necessary in preparation for Ms. Ryan’s visit. It was a pleasure working with her on this engagement.

Thank you again for the work you do and the rewarding collaborations we enjoy with your agency. I look forward to future interactions.”
