Tim Dillon

Dillon was born and raised in Island Park, New York. He is of Irish Catholic descent.

As a child in 1994, he landed a small role on the PBS children's show Sesame Street. Dillon said on The Joe Rogan Experience, "I was a child actor as a kid and I failed. I was on Sesame Street twice. I did the polka with Snuffleupagus."

Dillon attended Nassau Community College and won a Bronze Award in Impromptu Speaking in 2005.Before becoming a comedian, Dillon worked as a New York City tour guide. He entered the stand-up scene around 2010. After a 2016 appearance at the Just for Laughs comedy festival in Montreal, Rolling Stone named Dillon as one of the "10 Comedians You Need to Know" in 2017.

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.

Vulture described Dillon in 2016 as "simultaneously a boisterous, conservative-leaning Long Island native and a thoughtful, homosexual foodie with a soft spot for frozen yogurt." Rolling Stone in 2017 described him as "capable of formulating an articulate (and often contrarian) opinion about anything at a moment's notice."

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