Erin (she/her) is a Chicago-based Actor and Comedian. She received her BFA from the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign in 2020. Since then, Ryan has featured in several short films, her first being “Sushi,” a comedic indie film that won multiple awards at national and international film festivals. Ryan is a member of the sketch comedy duo, It’s Hard to be Hot, and improv team, Boys Club. Ryan is currently a free agent and has written and produced numerous shows at various theatres across Chicago. She is beyond excited to be a part of the talented cast of Clearing and can’t wait to tell Jess’s story. Dark and dramatic comedy is one of Ryan’s favorite genres; she loves to find humor in the real and raw emotions of the human experience. When Ryan is not writing or performing, she can be seen circling the aisles of Trader Joe’s, jet-setting to a new country, or devouring the latest season of Selling Sunset.
