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." [5] [6]
Dillon attended Nassau Community College and won a Bronze Award in Impromptu Speaking in 2005. [7]
Before becoming a professional comedian, Dillon worked as a New York City tour guide. [8] He entered the stand-up scene around 2010. After a 2016 appearance at the Just for Laughs comedy festival in Montreal, [9] Rolling Stone named Dillon as one of the "10 Comedians You Need to Know" in 2017. [10] [11] Along with Luis J.

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." [13] Rolling Stone in 2017 described him as "capable of formulating an articulate (and often contrarian) opinion about anything at a moment's notice." [10]
In August 2022, Dillon released his first standup special: Tim Dillon: A Real Hero. [14]
