UMPI and Taco Bell hosted local hometown favorite Ryan Gartley, with two of his friends in tow, for a fundraising comedy show to benefit future renovations to the Auditorium in Wieden Hall. Ryan Gartley & Friends featured County native Ryan Gartley, Riley Hamel—a newcomer to the comedy scene, and Kyle Crawford, a blue collar comic who has performed in shows all over New England as well as for troops in the South Pacific. Both Gartley and Crawford have been featured on the internationally syndicated talk show The Steve Katsos Show.
