Drew Lynch, the charismatic comedian who captured the hearts of America with his Golden Buzzer performance on Season 10 of America's Got Talent, lives by the motto "Do something every day that scares you". This philosophy has guided him throughout his life, including his journey as a comedian.
Before becoming a comedian, Drew had aspirations of becoming an actor, a dream he had since he was a kid. At the young age of 19, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue his dream, but a freak accident just a year into his acting career left him with a severe stutter and crushed his hopes of ever performing again.
However, Drew's determination to become an entertainer forced him to take a different path. He began to reflect on the "softball that humbly changed his life and gave him a career". The relatability of his real-life situations in dealing with a stutter propelled him each week of the competition, advancing to the finals and ultimately landing second place on season 10 of America's Got Talent.
Drew attributes much of his success to his ability to be honest and genuinely face the "elephant in the room" head on. He has made comedy his full-time career, headlining comedy clubs all over the world.
In addition to his comedy career, Drew has appeared on the Dr. Oz show and will be appearing as a celebrity guest on the game show Idiot Test. He is also collaborating on a book and working towards becoming the actor he always dreamed of, with a now different and enlightened perspective on who he thought he was and who he is today.
The person I was before would probably never hang out with who I am today, Drew says, as he continues to inspire audiences across the country with his charming wit and genuine vulnerability.
