Recently dubbed by a fan as “a mix between Rodney Carrington & Wheeler Walker Jr.”, Ricky Melton is quickly becoming one of the most talked about touring comedians on the road today. An absolute force on stage, his act is equal parts comedy, music & absurdity.
For nearly 15 years Ricky has been making audiences around the country laugh with his stories of growing up in the “not best” circumstances, falling in (and very much OUT) of love & even the occasional witness of a murder. All of his stories are true AND all are set to the soundtrack of Ricky playing his guitar and singing his original and outlandish country music songs that are sure to bring a smile to your face. Well, bring a smile to your face if you are not uptight and/or bashful around dirty words.
As the opening act for Artie Lange on his 2017/2018 theater tour, Ricky has performed at some of the country’s finest venues, as well as some of the country's worst venues, and everywhere in between.
Ricky has been featured on TMZ after a fight with the late actor/comedian Dustin Diamond (Screech from TV’s Saved by the Bell) that involved Dustin drinking Ricky’s bodily fluids (long story, don’t ask). He has also made an appearance on DirecTV and has been a guest on several podcasts/radio shows, as well as hosting his own podcasts (Alt Right Libtards & Comedy Karaoke). He was the creator and host of the game show “Win 2 Lo$e: A Dirty Game Show”.
