Ryan Wingfield will be returning to Delta Junction to perform at the End of Road Rally, Saturday, June 21st at 8 PM. Wingfield has been doing stand-up comedy and now resides in Idaho. Ryan grew up in Delta Junction, playing hockey, along with his 2 brothers, Nick and Cale. His parents, Hugh and Claire Wingfield, operate Alaska 7 Motel. Wingfield is a 1999 Delta High School graduate and has been following his dream as a stand-up comic.“After spending three years writing news for a television station in Boise Idaho”, Ryan says, “I quit my job to follow a childhood dream of performing stand up comedy. So far my career as a comic has taken me from the lights of Reno and Las Vegas to the rolling cornfields of Kansas. At least it's nice to know the two college degrees I got are being put to good use. I have no idea what the future holds for me, but I'm looking forward to it.”
