Northampton, MA — Sources for The Bringer were able to confirm that local comic and risk taker A.J. Ryan shared his Social Security Number to an audience during an outdoor open mic at Hopper’s Sports Bar.
“Holy shit! I’ve never gotten a reaction like that,” Ryan exclaimed minutes after leaving the stage. “I feel high and shaky at the same time. Definitely keeping this new Social Security number bit in my act. Especially the line about my debit card number and expiration date, that killed!”
Several eyewitnesses said that the social distancing outdoor mic on the deck at the bar was a terrible shitshow with the crowd talking over every comic.
“A.J. came up and everyone knew he was probably going to eat shit because he sucks and nobody was paying attention,” described fellow comic Laney Singletree. “He got on the mic though and he started screaming ‘Hey! Hey! Shut up! I’m going to tell you my Social Security Number!’ It was a desperate move, but he killed.”
A viral Youtube video picks up right where Singletree’s account leaves off. In the video, Ryan says the number so fast that no one can hear it, and the audience reacts with explosive laughter.
“What? Like anybody wants to steal my identity…You can’t get blood from a stone,” Ryan can be heard exclaiming. Then, when someone in the audience asked, “What’s this asshole’s name,” Ryan responded with his full name before receiving the light. He wrapped his set up by saying, “Thank you! That was my actual Social Security Number so please don’t use it! Tip your bartender!”
At the time of reporting, Ryan was approximately $13.2 million in debt due to identity fraud, but he is hoping to pay it off with the earnings from his viral video, which currently amount to $72.91.
