IDAHO FALLS – Comedian Ryan Hamilton still has plenty to laugh about, despite being hospitalized earlier this year after being hit by a bus in Salt Lake City.

The 46-year-old Ashton man will be performing at the Colonial Theatre in downtown Idaho Falls later this month for the second year in a row. Hamilton suffered 10 broken ribs, a broken arm and a punctured lung following an accident in January.

Then a few weeks later, his dad died after battling numerous health issues.

Despite the hardships, Hamilton was back on the road just three months later while continuing physical therapy.

Seven months later, he still has some pain. But Hamilton says he’s on the mend and is “doing pretty well,” all things considered.

“I’m able to do everything that I used to do. I’m still working on physical therapy stuff, but I’m able to travel to the shows. (I’ve) made a lot of progress. It was quite serious, but I’m doing ok. I’ve learned a lot,” Hamilton says, laughing it off.

Hamilton has gotten a lot of support from fans and fellow Idahoans this past year and he’s looking forward to telling local crowds all about it in his typically humorous way. His Idaho Falls shows on Nov. 25 and 26 will feature all new material, most of which will focus on his recent injuries.

“I’ve never had something that I had to talk about and I had to talk about this, so it will occupy a lot of the show,” he says.
