You guys, he was the nicest, kindest person ever! So amazing to let me teach him some signs and not make fun of the fact that I am deaf!

[miriamhodges]

"They're bluetooth, so I can ignore my husband!"
"Amazing, and this is your boyfriend?"
😂😂

[Unprotagonist]

THIS is how to work a crowd, do improv, and joke about disability WITHOUT ever punching down. All comedians, take notes. Drew's the real deal and always has been.

The way he got excited like a child when he found out she was listening to him from the phone was adorable. 😍

[Ltskii_]

I swear crowd interactions are always hilarious-

[Sirdustetryne]

As someone who is hearing impaired i want to say this is just very very nice.

The respect you show her is fantastic, but also your willingness to not make fun of her, but make fun of the scenario which happens to involve her deafness is grade A respectful comedy.

You included her in the bit and didn't walk on any eggshells, treated her just like any other person in the room. This goes without saying really, but i felt like saying it anyway.

And how nice of you to hold the phone. You did a great thing that evening.

Improv aside, drew is really sweet for all of this, keeping her phone right next to him for the whole show because it helps her hear better

[hnktbt]

this is fucking iconic drew lmfao you probably made their week with this

[lukebramer]

Automatic proof that Drew is the coolest comedian on the planet. Other comedians might allow her to leave the phone on the stage but no one else would pick it up and finish the set with it just so she can hear even better

[banapeterson]

@drewlynch thanks for an amazing memory that I will cherish forever 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

[fancydeer]

This is some of the best audience work ever. But the part when he said "how many people are connected to this? no wonder there's a delay when you guys laugh" killed me. Also I learned that there's a bluetooth app for hearing aids?? that's super cool. I didn't know this technology existed

[MommaOsoIrish]

I saw a show where a woman put her prosthetic legs on the stage... He was so kind. As he was incorporating it into his jokes... He asked, "is this okay? I mean, are you okay with me doing this? Please say no if not." And, not missing a beat, she replied, " I put my legs on your stage." I think what sets him apart is having his own challenge, he can make something funny without making fun of the person.

Drew is one of the most humble comedians out there, love this dude!

[RagnarRipper]

I am continually impressed with how fucking fast you are with the crowd. It's incredibly impressive and so much fun to watch.
Can't wait to see more.

[darkunicorn]

The skill and practice it takes to improv this well and actually make callbacks to your previous written jokes with the crowd work is insane. And drew makes it look so easy. I will forever be proud of you my dude you came so far and you are an inspiration so people who haven't found they're voice yet.

[kenGPT]

The fact that drew let a phone sit on his stage not knowing what it was and later finding out it was for a deaf person to hear him is so remarkable and humble.
Times like these are giving me slight hope in humanity, when the world seems to be crumbling.

If there is a God, bless both Drew and the Deaf girl.

[amelamee]

Drew is awesome. The hardest I've ever laughed was when Drew said "can you imagine a cop with a stutter pulls over someone with a stutter?" That was the best story ever.

[soapssie]

Ah yes the disability community coming together

[idellekell]

Him hiding behind the mic stand made me laugh so hard lol. Like a little kid that cover his face and thinks he's hiding 😂

[Zzazs]

i love the pure joy of this guy on stage when he meets people
