Tim J. Dillon (born c. 1985)[1] is an American stand-up comedian, podcaster and actor. He entered the stand-up scene in around 2010, and has also worked as a New York City tour guide. After a 2016 appearance at the Just for Laughs comedy festival in Montreal,[2] Rolling Stone named Dillon as one of the "10 Comedians You Need to Know" in 2017.[3][4] He currently hosts his own podcast The Tim Dillon Show, having previously hosted another podcast, Tim Dillon is Going to Hell on GaS Digital Network.[5][6] Dillon has also made numerous guest appearances on podcasts such as The Joe Rogan Experience,[7] The Fighter and the Kid, This Past Weekend, Your Mom's House and H3 Podcast.[8]

A native of Long Island, New York, Dillon has spoken of being raised by a schizophrenic mother. He is openly gay.[3] Politically, Dillon has stated he leans conservative,[1][9] in order to screen himself from a "pack mentality" towards disingenuous liberalism in the entertainment world. I don’t think politically I line up with anything," he told Vulture. "I think it’s all fake."
