Gareth Patrick Reynolds[1] (born November 27, 1979) is an American stand-up comedian, producer, writer, and podcaster.
Early life
Gareth Patrick Reynolds was born in Brown Deer, Wisconsin, on November 27, 1979.[2] His parents immigrated to the U.S. from England. His mother Pam has since moved back to England and joins Gareth on a YouTube series they do together called Pamdemic. Reynolds, nicknamed Garfie as a child, attended Emerson College, where he joined the improv group Swollen Monkeys and met Evan Mann, with whom he would go on to host the podcast Point vs. Point. He graduated in 2003.[3] After graduation, Reynolds moved to Los Angeles to continue his comedy career.[2]
Career
Reynolds performed his first stand-up show at Comedy Sports in Milwaukee.[2] In 2005, he worked on the NBC prank/hidden camera series The Real Wedding Crashers.[4]
Reynolds has written and produced for a number of television shows, including Arrested Development, MTV's Failosophy, and the Travel Channel's Mancations. He continues to write and produce stand-up comedy. In 2019, he released his debut comedy album, Riddled with Disease, which went to No. 1 on the Billboard charts the week it was released.[4][5]
Reynolds is best known as the co-host of the comedy history podcast The Dollop, which debuted in 2014. In the show, co-host Dave Anthony tells Reynolds a particularly shocking or notable story from American history that Reynolds has heard nothing about.[6] As a continuing joke on the show, Anthony calls Reynolds "Gary". Anthony and Reynolds co-wrote a book based on the podcast entitled The United States of Absurdity: Untold Stories from American History that was published in 2017.[7] Screenwriter Josh Olson once described the book as "a great bathroom read."[8]
Personal life
Reynolds lives near Los Angeles with his overweight cat, Jose, who is often featured or mentioned on his podcasts.[5] He has a Green Bay Packers tattoo on his upper right arm.[9]
