Early life

Dillon grew up in Island Park, New York. He is of Irish Catholic descent. As a child, he tried his hand at acting and, in 1994, landed a small role on the PBS children's show Sesame Street. Dillon opened up about his child acting days on The Joe Rogan Experience, stating, "I was a child actor as a kid and I failed. I was on Sesame Street twice. I did the polka with Snuffleupagus. Legitimately."[1][2]

Career

Before becoming a comedian, Dillon worked as an office printer salesman and a mortgage broker[3] during the subprime mortgage crisis. When the market crashed, he became a New York City tour guide.[4] He entered the stand-up scene around 2010. After a 2016 appearance at the Just for Laughs comedy festival in Montreal,[5] Rolling Stone named Dillon as one of the "10 Comedians You Need to Know" in 2017.[6][7] Along with Luis J. Gomez and Nick Mullen, Dillon was also a co-host of the Real Ass Podcast spin-off podcast Bastard Radio in 2020.[8]

In August 2022, Dillon released his first standup special: Tim Dillon: A Real Hero.

The Tim Dillon Show is a comedic video podcast hosted by Dillon that discusses events from his life and news topics that often revolve around American cultural issues, the entertainment industry, and politics.[9] Dillon also releases additional audio content to his Patreon supporters.[10] As of June 2022, with over 42,658 paying subscribers and making over $221,000 per month, his podcast is one of the most popular on the platform.[11]

The Tim Dillon Show was originally named Tim Dillon Is Going to Hell,[12][13] when the podcast was first launched on the GaS Digital Network and featured co-host and fellow Long Island-based comedian Ray Kump. Dillon would leave GaS Digital, adding producer and friend Ben Avery, off whom Dillon often bounced questions and ideas.[14] In September 2022, Avery parted ways with Dillon and the show — as of November 2022, Avery works with comedian Kyle Dunnigan.[15][16]

Personal life

Dillon was born and raised in Island Park, New York. His parents divorced when he was young. As a result he was mostly raised by his mother, who was eventually diagnosed with schizophrenia.[17]

As of March 2021, he resides in Los Angeles, after briefly living in Austin, Texas.[18]

Dillon is gay and came out at the age of 25.[6][19]

He struggled with substance abuse in his past. According to Dillon, he started using drugs and alcohol at the age of 13, and had become a cocaine addict by 18. He has been sober for several years.[20]

He is also a real estate investor, owning a home in Austin, Texas, and a $4 million estate in the Hamptons, New York.[21] However, he has since released a response on his YouTube channel contesting the alleged value of the deal, claiming that it was in fact around $2.4 million.[22]

Politics

In 2016, Dillon stated, "I don't think politically I line up with anything. I think it's all fake."[23] He said he did not vote in the 2020 US general election due to disapproval of both incumbent Donald Trump and his Democratic opponent Joe Biden.[24] In 2016, Dillon did like Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders, stating, "I think people should have health care, and I know a lot of people are angry at me about that." Dillon has described himself as "pretty moderate" on several occasions. He does not support a particular political party, preferring to analyze each issue as it comes.[19][25][26]
