MAFS's Ryan Gallagher reveals his new career after heartbreak on the show

Ryan Gallagher has gained a reputation as the ‘funny guy’ from Married at First Sight. 

His quirky sense of humour quickly won over viewers of the hit reality TV show and now the 29-year-old is trying to make a career out of stand-up comedy. 

"I've always loved making people laugh and that's it really," he told A Current Affair.

"If I can do it in front of a classroom, i'm sure i can do it in front of 500 pissed people," he laughed.

Despite being ditched by his on-screen wife Davina in front of millions of Australians, Ryan insists he can see the funny side to his public humiliation.
