Clean comedy, music and “non-denominational style gospel” will be on display in Cody on Sunday.

The event, which begins at 7 p.m. at the Holiday Inn, 1701 Sheridan Ave., features two different acts — a ventriloquist and a musician — both presented by Gospel Messengers.

Admission is free, with a freewill offering taken.

“Be prepared for side splitting comedy and heaps of musician talent like you have never seen before,” organizers say.

Ryan Bomgardner, of Ephrata, Pennsylvania, is a Christian ventriloquist, comedian, father, pastor, comedy columnist and regional TV host. He and his “friends” can be found performing throughout the United States and Canada roughly 175 times a year.

“Whether it’s his laugh-crazed family show or his dynamic corporate gigs, there are two things his audiences have come to expect: a flawlessly clean show and sidesplitting comedy!” organizers say.

Using his talents, Bomgardner will bring a cast of colorful characters to life — including Jeffrey, the self-proclaimed star of the show. Jeffrey is a witty 8-year-old kid who often says the things adults only wish they could say. He currently resides in a suitcase in Bomgardner’s SUV. Characters Harold and Irene, meanwhile, are some hilarious old folks with way more opinions on life than your average grandparents, offering advice on topics ranging from iPads to IHOPs.

Meanwhile, don’t let Andy the Skunk’s cute face fool you, as he’s not above knocking some “scents” into you. He’s a hit with young and old alike. And Tiffany is a giggly teenager whose love for all things superficial gives everyone a good laugh.

Attendees will also get to enjoy the music of John Schmid, the founder and director of Common Ground Ministries. The Berlin, Ohio-based organization focuses on ministering to prisons in the Ohio Corrections System, including by providing Bibles.

In a typical year, Schmid ministers in more than 50 prisons, 40 banquets, 30 churches, six evangelistic crusades, four or five camps, a street fair or two, several weekend seminars and numerous concerts and living rooms. With a unique blend of country/folk/gospel and a touch of contemporary, Schmid’s performances captivate audiences in prisons, high schools, churches, rest homes, army bases, concert halls and more.

His honest genuine voice is easy to listen to and his message reaches everyone through humor, true life stories, a love for people and a wide selection of songs, organizers say. Schmid was singing in a country western band at the time of his conversion in 1972 and he says God changed his desire for stardom in Nashville to ministry. He has sung in over 30 different countries and takes annual work/mission trips to Central America to help Christians get a vision for missions. Schmid and his wife Lydia reside in Benton, Ohio.

Gospel Messengers invites the public to bring the family, a friend, grandkids or grandparents to Sunday’s event in Cody.
