Drew Lynch
American stand-up comedian (born 1991)
Andrew "Drew" Lynch (born August 10, 1991), is an American stand-up comedian. He is known for his 2015 performances on America's Got Talent (AGT), where he finished in second place in the 10th season finale, for his long-running YouTube series Dog Vlog, and for the quick-witted crowd work that often constitutes a substantial portion of his on-stage performances. Major themes of his work include his relationships, his stature, his willingness to say things which are patently taboo, and his occasional stutter.
Early life and education
Lynch was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, to parents Tim and Chris Lynch. The eldest of three children, he attended Robey Elementary School in Wayne Township until age 9, when his family moved to Las Vegas. Drew was determined to be an actor, so his parents enrolled him in the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts (LVA). He read plays constantly, whether they were homework assignments or not. At a 2022 TED talk, he recalled that he rode the city bus to school at 11 years old by himself. "Every day on those commutes I read all of Neil Simon, Tennessee Williams, Shakespeare, and all of my hard work was paying off, because the very first play I got cast in, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, I landed the lead role of Oompa-Loompa."
In 2008, he played Joseph Merrick in the Bernard Pomerance play The Elephant Man at the LVA's Lowden Theater. A theater critic wrote, "Drew Lynch is a high school junior with what some might call wholesome, all-American good looks.
