Ryan Beil is a Canadian actor, comedian, improviser, and podcaster. He is best known for his improv group The Sunday Service, running Little Mountain Gallery, and co-starring in A&W Canada commercials.
Early life Beil was born in Vancouver.
He attended the University of British Columbia, where he received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in theatre acting in 2005.
Comedy
The Sunday Service In 2005, Beil and his friends started The Sunday Service, an improv group consisting of Taz VanRassel, Kevin Lee, Mark Chavez, Aaron Read, and Caitlin Howden with musical director Emmett Hall. They performed every Sunday at the Kozmik Zoo in Mount Pleasant, Vancouver. The group would soon find international success. By 2014, The Sunday Service moved to The Fox Cabaret, where they are still performing every Sunday night, and were nominated for Best Improv Troupe at the Canadian Comedy Awards from 2011 to 2015 (and won in 2012).
Little Mountain Gallery When the future of community comedy venue Little Mountain Gallery was uncertain, Beil stepped up to run the Mount Pleasant not-for-profit venue.
Blind Tiger In 2018, The Sunday Service joined forces with comedy duo Hip.Bang! to open Blind Tiger Comedy, a comedy school operating out of the original Little Mountain Gallery in Mount Pleasant.
Podcasts On May 7, 2010, Beil appeared on Stop Podcasting Yourself for the first time. He has since appeared on the show more than 10 times.
Beil also appeared on Blocked Party, Retail Nightmares, Spontaneanation with Paul F. Tompkins, Sexy Unique Podcast, Improv4humans, and This Sounds Serious.
Let's Make Beil co-hosted all 3 seasons of the Kelly & Kelly/CBC Radio podcast Let's Make a Sci-Fi with Mark Chavez and Maddy Kelly. The first season premiered March 1, 2022, and followed the hosts as they took a sci-fi show from pitch to pilot over 8 episodes. The season won a 2023 Webby Award for Best Limited Series.
Season 2 premiered on February 14, 2023, when Let's Make became Let's Make a Rom-Com. It ran for 8 episodes.
The third and final season, Let's Make a Horror, launched on October 11, 2023. It ran over the course of 10 episodes.
He and Chavez now host The Town Show, an improv podcast from the same team.
Acting
A&W commercials Beil was the co-star in a series of commercials for A&W Canada from 2009 until 2012, in which he played "A&W manager Allen" Lulu's sidekick and trainee. In 2015, he created a social media campaign, #WhereHasRyanBeen, to try to reconnect with the company, who acknowledged the hashtag on Twitter.
On August 8, 2015, Beil reprised his trainee character for one live-experience ad, handing out Teen Burgers to tubers floating down the Okanogan River at a prop drive-through in Penticton.
