Ron Placone is a stand-up comedian and writer living in Seattle, WA. Prior to getting his feet wet in comedy Ron was a musician and played in several punk bands over the years in his hometown of Pittsburgh, PA. The days in the band ended when Ron went away for college at Indiana University in Bloomington, IN. While in college Ron developed his own act consisting of songs, jokes, and story-telling and would go to any stage that would have him. He played primarily coffee houses, basements, and underground video stores to scarce amounts of people. In the meantime, he published his first book, "25 K Later," a short-story collection Ron wrote in his mid-to-late teens. In 2006, Ron started his own podcast show, "The Bradley Panic Podcast," from a youth-hostel in Nashville, TN, which is where he was living at the time. The show gave Ron an opportunity to further develop his brand of political and social humor, and captivating stories and discourse. Ron still uses the show to make some of his live shows available for download. Later in 2006, Ron decided to try his hand at stand-up comedy. Ron Placone's all-inclusive comedy covers a wide spectrum of topics from everyday life, relationships, and music, to the hard-biting topics of politics, social issues, and religion. Yet, despite his sarcastic whit and blatant cynicism, deep down there's a passionate and undying optimist calling for just a little more peace, love and understanding. Currently, Ron performs regularly in Seattle, WA and surrounding areas, he also plans to release his first novel, "Hostel Drifting," in December of 2007.
