The Bright Side of ADHD It’s a good thing sitting still, paying attention and making sure you’re prepared for class aren’t the skills you need to become a standup comedian, because Rich Ragains possesses none of them. And while his ADHD kept him from being a teachers pet or even a good student, it has helped Ragains develop and act that covers just about everything he can think of. In an odd sort of way, his quick thinking and improv skills also helped him become a high school wrestling champion, but that fact really has nothing to do with his current career. Rich’s career began on a dare when he was talked into taking the stage at an open mic night after the guy that was scheduled to perform backed out. And because that one guy had no courage, Rich now enjoys a career in standup comedy that has taken him from Northern Canada, all the way to the sunny Bahamas - even on a Carnival Cruise! Rich has also written a book titled "No Excuses Dad," which discusses the last art of hanging out and is the host of the new program "Tractor Fanatic." Rich is also a contributing author to National Lampoon.
