Tim Dillon is a stand-up comic, talk show host, and actor from the United States. He is most known for his famous podcast, The Tim Dillon Show. He has been one of the top creators on Patreon with his series and continues to rise as one of the best podcasters today. As of 2022, Tim Dillon has an estimated net worth of $2 million.
Early Life
Dillon was born on January 22, 1985, in Island Park, New York. He is descended from an Irish Catholic family. When he was a kid, his parents split up, and his mother was soon diagnosed with schizophrenia.
His first exposure to the public media was when he tried to be a child actor. He received a brief role on the children’s classic Sesame Street in 1994. He was featured on the show twice.
When he grew up, he didn’t immediately decide to be a comedian. At first, he was marketing subprime mortgages. He fell into the housing crisis in 2008 after purchasing a home at the age of 22.
Comedy Career
Tim spent some time at Lisa’s Lounge, a local bar that inspired several ideas for his future work. Dillon began performing stand-up comedy in 2010 while working as a tour guide in New York City.
He left for Los Angeles and started to gain recognition in 2016 and 2017. Rolling Stone named him one of the “10 Comedians You Need to Know” after he performed at the Just for Laughs comedy festival in Montreal.
Dillon appeared at The Chris Gethard Show, The 2016 Chris Gethard Election Special, and Comedy Knockout. He was on tour in 2021, and he has gigs planned for the rest of 2022. He’ll be going to Denver, Albany, Bensalem, Brea, Baltimore, and Concord.
The Tim Dillon Show
When he was getting attention in 2016, he created his podcast on the GaS Digital Network. The podcast, which was originally named Tim Dillon is Going to Hell, contained monologues from Dillon and his co-host Ray Kump.
As a result of their success, they were granted interviews with high-ranking state officials and investigative reporters. Tim quit the network later, and in 2019, he rebranded the show with its present name. He also started on Patreon around that time.
Now, his YouTube channel has 418,000 subscribers, and he has over 41,000 Patrons. His other social media handles are also doing well. He has 618,000 followers on Twitter and 537,000 on Instagram.
Earnings
Though he does earn for YouTube, his primary source of income is Patreon, where he uploads extra content from Tim Dillon is Going to Hell. It took off immediately, and by 2020, he was one of the site’s top creators.
He offers two subscription packages, one for $5 per month and another for $20. This led to Dillon earning a $1.5 million annual income on the platform.
Personal Life
After a brief stay in Austin, Texas, Tim now makes his home in Los Angeles. He has previously suffered from substance abuse, but he is currently sober. Tim Dillon is homosexual and came out when he was 25 years old. However, there is no news about him having a boyfriend.
