What makes Drew special isn't just the laughs though. Dude dealt with a brain injury that made the whole journey that much harder and still figured it out on his own terms. Now he's a nationally touring comic with fans all over the country who know exactly who he is.
Smart, hilarious, and genuinely one of the good ones. Glad we got to sit down and chop it up. Thanks for coming on Drew! 💣💥
