Does your family support your comedy career? Or your attempt at a comedy career? If you’re lucky, you’ll have a loyal supporter, like comedian Drew Lynch’s dog, Stella. You might remember Drew Lynch from America’s Got Talent, where he was a runner up in the 10th season, in 2015.
Comedian Drew Lynch
If you’ve see America;s Got Talent, you know that the judges can press the Golden Buzzer, to send a contestant strait to the live shows. In 2015, when Drew Lynch appeared, fellow comedian, judge Howie Mandel, pressed the Golden Buzzer for Drew.
A few years earlier, when he was 20 years old, Drew Lynch was struck in the throat by a softball, and ended up with a concussion, and a neurogenic stutter. He couldn’t get acting jobs after that, so his friends encouraged him to become a stand-up comedian. And even though Drew didn’t win on America’s Got Talent, his comedy career has been going well.
At home though, Drew doesn’t get enthusiastic support. You know the feeling – you show your family your best comedy bits, and…nothing. Just like Drew Lynch’s dog Stella, your family give you blank looks. Deadpan stares. No reaction whatsoever. Maybe they’ve seen our act too many times before.
Anyway, don’t be discouraged! An audience of total strangers will probably love your stuff, so get out there and impress them.
