Background[]

Born in Indiana and raised in Las Vegas, Drew graduated high school with aspirations of becoming a fully articulate film actor in Los Angeles. At age 19 at a company softball game, Drew got hit in the throat causing some vocal trauma, turning his chattering into stuttering. With this life-changing injury and passion for writing and performing stand up, he began bringing to life the social hardships of dealing with a speech impediment. Inspired by Louis C.K. and Bo Burnham, Drew is on a mission to make you laugh. [1]

Audition[]

Quarterfinals[]

Drew Lynch's Week 1 Quarterfinals performance in Episode 1012 consisted of joking about having a service dog (and expecting a magic chihuahua), answering for his dog, and his cat having Tourette's syndrome (possibly a reference to his colleague Samuel Conroe).

Finale[]

For the finale in Episode 1023, Drew Lynch attempted to roast Gary Vider. When guest Jeffrey Ross insisted that they were too nice, Jeffrey roasted both the comedians and the judges.
