“i was sad when starbucks was open” SAME DUDE 😂😂
Rightttt, same here
I felt sadder when Starbucks was open.
“I been a member for years bitch!” -this is too true LMAO
People ask me like, do you think the pandemic played a part? Nah, I was self-isolating even before that, just gave me more time to actually take care of myself and my needs with everything closed and shut down.
yes. pandemic and politics made it worse
Honestly it made me feel less alone. Nothing makes going to bed all alone after a day of not interacting with anyone, better, but it’s not as bad when everybody else is doing the same
I self-isolated from the ages of 14-19.
I laugh at people who feel a little blue after 2 years.
It actually really helped me too. I was doing GCSEs at the time (UK school thing) and missed about a year due to mental health problems. When we all went into lockdown and did online learning I actually got the chance to figure out how to teach myself and I got really good grades. Without covid I would have failed and I would never have worked out I have ADHD alongside my anxiety and depression. So thanks covid…I guess.
Contrary to what other people might believe, the pandemic was actually good for my mental health, cause I was actually able to focus on myself.
It's great how he's not only talking about something this serious but adding the humor into it. I think it could help others going through the same thing maybe see other avenues to help them. This guy is just all over awesome.
Greetings overkill, I always found it amazing how he could relate so much and turn serious topics that aren't discussed much into conversations
And he isn't adding the humour in a disrespectful way too
I love that he will bring it up without upsetting people with the topics and his jokes wont upset people.
Overkill!!
Hello Overkill fan
"It's depression"
Everyone: *Cheering intensifies*
As a 17 year survivor of clinical depression and a failed suicide attempt, I applaud you for bringing this issue to life in your routine.
Much love and support to you!
Congratulations on making it through so much! Very few people are that strong.
@@jebwatersheep3458 As Bob Marley said, you don’t know how strong you are until strong is your only option
glad you're still here
This is written to make a confession
How I let my life be controlled by depression
It weakens my heart feel nothing but pain
But yet I try my best not to complain
There are people whose life are worse than my own
But everyday I feel I'm alone
Is there light at the end of the tunnel I follow
Or will my heart forever feel hollow
Left empty a waste of a heart that would be
But its hard to find someone that seems to like me
I feel my mind is in such disbelief
With these thoughts of discomfort and also some grief
Why cant things go just as smooth as my visions
Perhaps it just me and some faulty decisions
But whatever the case I cant let them control me
The thoughts and ideas that are far from happy
So I will try my best to let them go
And maybe be happy i really hope so
Written by me
Never let the feeling get the best of you. I am glad you have been able to stay here. Keep it up
Drew really helped me get over my speech impediment all through high-school I got bullied and then when I found him it made me realize I no longer need to hide it thank you drew
💚💚
Your epic. Never met you but you rock. Keep rocking. 🫂
Congrats, but is your speech impediment not using punctuation? I mean, this was hard to read!
Screw your bullies, you're awesome 💜
i've never seen anyone joking about such a sensitive subject and being actually funny and relatable haha good job 🥰
Really? I never laughed once.
@@Teabonesteak I feel bad that you've lost your funny bone. 😐 get well soon
@@Teabonesteak good for you???
@@Teabonesteak helps if you have a sense of humor. If you can’t sense the humor, you won’t find it funny.
@@Teabonesteak what makes you laugh then?
Drew is an amazing human being.
Not the best comedian😄
You know what's really fucked up? That so many of our brains really work that way. Like we think about doing bad stuff to ourselves and find some twisted, dark humor to pull ourselves out of it. One more minute, one more hour until the minutes and hours add up and we've made it another day. But that's really what matters right? That we each just keep making it. Thank you Drew for sharing yourself with all of us. You are a joy!
Robin williams is a perfect example of something like this, stay strong man
Of information getting fucked up? Yeah. Robin Williams had a degenerative (and fatal) brain disease and chose to end it rather than let his mind slip away from him.
He didn't die from depression. Although his death brought a lot of awareness to depression, so it's not a terrible thing that people got the information wrong.
@@andrewe2057 Yeah he made his decision out of logic and not emotion. “Do I want it to happen quickly in the comfort and privacy of my own home, or slowly and terribly while all my loved ones watch me waste away?”
@@andrewe2057 oh wow, i had no idea honestly
Robin Williams did not die from COVID...stop the misinformation
@@alphamale3643 No one said COVID? Plus he died before it even started. He was diagnosed with Lewy Body Disease and ended it.
Drew I know what its like I have PTSD, anxiety, and depression after my daughter died tragically in my arms in 2018 and it's a real struggle day in and day out dealing with the Demons and fighting them off to make it another day prayers are with you and just know you are not alone I wish I would've been able to talk to you more when I met you in NC a couple of years ago. Keep fighting brother you got this.
Praying for you James. Thinking of ya and truly sorry for your loss.
@@jaccrazy21 Thank you it's hard but I took my tragic loss and used it as motivation and became a firefighter to try and help those no matter what and to be a shoulder for others to lean on bc I have been to the bottom of the pit and clawed my way back out that doesn't mean it went away but I know how it feels and I still have those days where I struggle and the flash backs of that terrible day but when I do I think of those that I have been able to help when times are rough.
@@jamesmabe2761 Thank you for sharing James. So sorry for you loss. What an inspiration you are. It's good to normalise talking about this. I too have ptsd, major depressive disorder and anxiety. It's a hard road but as long as we are open and have a good support system we can find ways to get through it. May I ask and please if it's too personal have you tried cbt therapy?
@@jamesmabe2761 Thank you for finding strength in tragedy and for your service to your community. I know how loss feels and it is no easy feet to carry their memory on. Very proud of you. I hope you have a great night. And sincerely thank you for sharing your story ❤️
@@stellamary204 yes I have and it helps out really well but with being a firefighter I don't want to take a chance with it interfering with my duties
See, Drew really captures how… when people think about that it’s pretty casual in their head… just a “huh… maybe I should” and even though the gravity of the situation is incredibly big, in the moment it seems like such a reasonable and easy decision. He captures that really well with just “well I can’t do it now” because that’s a very casual sentence
Listening to you, I am reminded of a phrase created many years ago by Marshall McLuhan: "The medium is the message." Seems very appropriate in describing your own presentation. Thank you for being a powerful voice.
Have suffered from depression for about 30 years now (under control with Prozac), including times when I've more than seriously considered doing it. Luckily I have an offbeat sense of humor, the springs into emergency mode when I'm really down, and I'll start thinking of ridiculous things, something like, "Yeah, I really feel like killing myself, but there's a new movie I want to see,, and I'd really like a hot fudge sundae ... so maybe not right now ." Luckily I also have a 16-year-old orange tabby cat named Miss Hissy, so I have to outlive her...
When fighting your own personal demons, I hope you realize that you are also a very inspiring and comforting person (great Randy, put more pressure on him!) who is constantly enriching the lives of those you come in contact with. I will be very sorry if you feel you must go, but I am incredibly grateful for the gift you've given us.
Re COVID and depression, saw a similar advisory expressed: "All you introverted people, check in on your extroverted friends - they don't know how to deal with this."
Happy that you're here, man
Thank you for existing. You may not agree all the time or at all but I am willing to bet the world is a better place with you in it. I can tell just by how you write.
@@mareinnashaw207 Thanks. I do think I've provided more plusses than minuses - even if it's just saying thank you to the bus driver, and then hearing the next three people behind me do the same.. :-)
That advisory gave me chills! I never thought of it like that. Being introverted AND disabled from a car wreck, this has been the norm for me for a very looong time. Thank you for the difference in perspective. 🙏🏻💖
Keep fighting. The world is most definitely better with you in it. ❤
Hahaha I love the line "...you're a piece of shit..." So perfectly timed and nice to hear other people feeling the same way. But these days it's pretty obvious that it's not strange to feel that way for a lot of people
Strong for sharing dude
“In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.”
I’m glad I’m not the only person who felt that way when everyone started getting depressed. I even felt happier for a little while, because at least I wasn’t dealing with it for the first time like all the other sad sacks 😅
Stay strong, Drew. Thanks for sharing. Been fighting depression for decades myself. ♥️
samewith me |I \ve been a member for decades. thanks drew you are not alone
This type of comedy is so needed. It is the best way to lift me up when I am so low.
As a fellow member-for-years-bitch: Thank you, Drew, for this. Weaving the beauty, tragedy, absurdity, and hilarity of modern life seamlessly together in a four minute clip. Masterful.
I write this with tears in my eyes. This last year has been one of the darkest years of my life and I’ve been close to suicide many times. It saddens me to hear that you have struggled with depression too, Drew. You have brought so much joy to peoples’ lives, including my own. You have been a bright spot In the darkness and as long as I am here on Earth, I will fight to keep others here.
Drew you're funny as hell and not defined by an injury. We just love you dude.
I’m crying. (And laughing!) Thank you so, so much for sharing. Seeing people who are as awesome and successful and funny as you openly talking about their experiences with depression is more helpful and appreciated than I can properly express.
This makes me feel better about my own struggles with depression. Thank you Drew
I needed this so much. All I watch on UA-cam or pretty much ever is stand up, adult swim, and comedy podcasts. Thank you so much, r.i.p Greg Geraldo, Brody Steven's, mitch hedburg, Robin Williams, and so many more.
I would add George Carlin to that list myself.
@@holynex he didn't really suicide but yes
Pretty sure Hedburg was a heart condition & heavy drug use.
Thank you Drew! Depression is when you can't feel positivity. Whereas 2020 there just wasn't any to feel anyways. You people aren't depressed, life's just shitty.
Thank you for the honesty. I've been a member since childhood.
Rock on, Drew. We need you.
I feel that pain! Depression and anxiety sucks. My whole life.
i love how he can talk about serious topics but still add that pop of humor. hes not making fun of it, but hes making you feel *better* about it. thats what true help is
What special is this
I feel this in my bones. You're amazing 💙💙💙💙💙
I stutter, and honestly seeing you up on a stage doing out of all things COMEDY, just makes me cry. To cry tears of joy. Because I never would have thought that it was possible for a person who stutters to do what you did. You're such an inspiration!
I have been dealing with it my whole life. There is not a day I don’t think about it but then think how bad it would hurt my family. So I reassure myself I’m worth living. I understand what he is saying.
In february 2019, I lost feeling in my right foot in an accident. In may 2020, my psychiatrist called me up and told me I will never be able to feel my foot again. When you talked about wondering if your disability will define you, Drew, I was able to relate so much. It feels like my disability is who I am, because it affects so many things, from my walking to my balance to my strength. But Drew, I love you so much, and even though stuttering is so much different than my disability, I still feel like there's an aspect of our struggles that we can relate to. You're awesome, especially for doing what you do, it's so inspiring. ❤
Man, there are few things that I wouldn't do to meet this man and shake his hand. Absolutely an inspiration and a thriving force behind my mental block to perform comedy.
You bring laughter to so many 👍
We need you. Take care of yourself too
Thank you for these uploads Drew, I was in a head-on accident on December 2nd and am now in the recovery stage of this ordeal. Your comedy has helped more than I can put into words. Thank you, and take care. 🤜🏼🤛🏼
P.S. My wife and I met you at the Helium Comedy Club in Portland Or.
I haven’t kept up with Drew’s stuff lately, but this video hit home. I’ve been dealing with depression since I was very young. I’m about to turn 16 and I’m getting better. I found Drew about a year and a half ago, he helped me a lot in that time. I’d watch him again and again, to the point here I knew his videos by heart. I don’t anymore ofc…but god I’d check up on all his social media’s so I could see anything new pop up just to get a laugh. This man is amazing, he has gone through so much. I’m very proud of who he’s become. You go drew!!
While comedic you can certainly convey a point and talk about something serious with your crowd. You are truly an amazing person and a lot of us have struggled and are currently struggling with depression.
But you help bring it up in a way that doesn't make anyone feel bad hearing about it. And being able to communicate and have someone not get upset over you being upset well, it takes se talent I tell you what.
You stay safe and keep doing you Drew. You're an amazing person!
The only comedian that I can smash the like button with confidence before he's even started his skit! Love yuh Drew. Your genuine skits are not only hilarious but inspiring and I thank you for that. God bless ✌🏼🙏🏼💛
Hey drew I’ve been struggling more than you know, and I just want to say you add some light to my dark life. I’ve been going to therapists and trying all sorts of medication but nothing works. The only thing that works, the only thing I live for, is laughter. And you my friend, bring the light into my life. If you are ever struggling just know there are others out there where you are their entire light to their world. If you left us we would have dearly missed you… I hope you read my comment
You have so many strong qualities. I love you sharing those inner emotions. Stay strong! We love you!
When this notification popped up that this video was uploaded, I had just stopped crying over a comment from my dad made to me. Ive been a depression survivor for 20+ years, suicide attempt survivor, disabled after a car accident, and now having to take care of my 13yr old who just had T4-L4 (11 levels) spine fusion surgery by myself... depression has been a battle the past few months and this video made me SMILE!! Thank you so much!!! I'm glad you're still here!
Depression is a beast.. I remember being 7 years old and crying thinking that I was going to have to live an afterlife after dying.. I already hated my current life and living forever still sounds exhausting..
I'm 30 now, and while I'm still depressed, the people around me have made life more worth living..
Sorry you're feeling this way. It doesn't ever go away but it does get easier as long as you have good people around you. ❤
That is what makes a cross generational comic, someone who can bring solid humor to an impossible topic. Truly talented
Man! This. Was. Powerful! So much respect for this guy-the total PSA potential of humor on full display! Pure genius!
Dude - It takes big balls to open up to others about a mental health issue - very brave and awesome for others to hear your story. Keep working on it your stuff - The World needs more people like you...
I'm more interested in what you say not how you say it, your stutter isn't what makes you funny Drew. Not only are you very funny but you're quick witted and clever. Just my humble opinion.
I absolutely agree! Luv you Drew ☺
On a more serious note, I'm so glad that you didn't leave this world, it would have been heart breaking. Suicide is serious, thank you for sharing ❤️ and thanks for making us laugh with you.
I’ve been dealing with Major Depression for 25+ years and have been hospitalized twice for suicide attempts. This was perfection - absolutely hilarious and meaningful at the same time. Thank you!
Thank you Drew! Im also trying to figure this out. So much I want to say. So many hurts. Trying to do the normal things like shower, stand up, even face my loved ones. It's horrifying what I can say to myself in 5 mins. I slam myself over and over again. You're in my prayers. Big hugs!!
It really hurts when you tell someone and they don't take you seriously. Maybe because they don't understand until its too late.
1:47 that was funny, moving, relatable content, deft timing, really excellent comedy. Fucking elite
I almost died laughing, what a good way to go
The whole 1 hour show was amazing. I really want more! You did so well.
I loved watching this special
Man, having gone through depression and still being very affected by it, I loved this.
It was very touching, and fun at the same time.
I feel you Drew 😪
I am very sad that I felt the same way, thinking that I had to make other people happy and that my feelings didn't matter. I still try to make others happy but now I care more about myself than I did before.
Every video you post I see my soul in you. You speak the truth. I never related more to anyone the way I do with you buddy. Stay strong.
Brother! This was awesome! I feel you and I see you! I’m right there with you! But I love you man! Your comedy is spot on, with or without the stutter. You’re awesome bro! You are loved!
My son's birthday is December 15th, same day my mom was born. He was due on the 18th but we went ahead and induced so they should share the day since she can't be with him physically. She passed 15 years ago.
But I make sure he has gifts on his birthday AND Christmas because I didn't want him to have the "do you want birthday or Christmas presents" ultimatum like my grandma basically gave my mother 🙄 I'll make sure he never has to feel that way.
My guy... I started following you back in agt. I fell off during your bout of drama couple years back. Due some shit going on in my life. But... I got thru it and i feel your words man. You're awesome man.
I totally didn’t cry. Anyways! It really is amazing how he can talk about something like this, and while still having people understand how serious it is, make it funny as well. It made me so emotional and sad to listen to someone who I’ve been watching (that sounds creepy) for years now talk about wanting to die and having depression, and it makes you realize that so many more people have it than you think at first glance.
DUDE!!! PLease come to South Africa. There's alot of people, including myself who would love to see you live.
I am going to post this on all vids until it gets recognised.
I really needed this, thanks!
Thank you for making me laugh
Andrew, Telling the truth is one thing, But confessing your truth in a room full of strangers is another entirely. Clearly putting yourself out there with this topic has risks, even in this context. With that being said, I think it was a most laudable act. You are a good human being - being humanely good and your benevolence is a beautiful thing!
Drew, I am with you 100% I have empathy for you because I struggle with “it” also. Thank you for your comedy and effort to make us laugh.
I cannot handle how freaking funny you are. I've been hooked since the very first time I've heard you.
🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥. Thank you for opening up and sharing. I’m glad that you’re still with us. Keep your head up and know you’re not alone!!!💜 I love your comedy!
Drew you make this world better. You give people happiness, strength and love. I hope we can give you enough back that you can tell the negativity that gets you sometimes a big fuck you in the face. You’re awesome. Believe people when they tell you when you have time for it.
Dude, I really love you man. You rock. First comedian sketch on UA-cam I have ever literally laughed out loud about. Keep it up!
I've known youve been getting a lot better with your speaking over the years, and going back and watching your first agt performance and this one again showed how incredible your hard work has payed off. I've never really given much attention to anything but your comedy, but when you were talking about your fears at the beginning of this video I noticed that your word delivery has become almost poetic, the enunciations you have to make and the pauses that you take end up making your sentences captivating. your stutter is still noticable, barely, but when you don't stutter your speech is beautiful. not many people have put as much effort into their speaking as you have and it shows. Good fucking job man
Drew you’ve been inspiring and helping me grow up since I was in high school. I’ve gone through some tough shit but your videos always make me laugh hysterically even in the worst moments. I never comment on videos but felt compelled to say something. Thank you seriously for Al the laughter you have brought into my life and I really really hope you find peace 💜
I felt all of these jokes hit me hard, but in a good way! Like, every joke was hilarious and I could understand where he's coming from. Amazing stuff
Ok but like I just wanna hug drew even with the humor it’s relatable af
How dare you bring me to tears then make me laugh! 🤣
I am so beyond proud of you, you've been my favorite comedian from the start and I'm so glad you're doing this instead of ... it 💪💗 love the comedic twist 😂
Well done Drew. Your fans love you. Thanks for bringing some humor to a dark topic. Stay well bud.
His stutter has gotten much better. Speech therapy is amazing
“All this bandwagon sadness… Fuck you!” Lmao my soul felt that! 😂🤣
Thanks for this made my day!
“I was sad when Starbucks was open” 😂😂
I love that line, if I drink Starbucks three days in a row, on the third day my stomach says f..k you, you're not putting Starbucks coffee into your stomach for the rest of the week
my brother. you're my example to survive dude. I'm over here physically hard working and not afraid to talk because I'm me not my conditions
He is so relatable
Every single thing he said resignated with me. He called me out while being the funniest person I've ever seen.
You are truly a gift, Drew!!
"I was sad when starbucls was open" 😂😂😂 got me good with that one
My birthday: being December 27
Me watching this: can confirm
Dude , your so brave and an inspiration.
I'm actually grateful his reason for NOT committing suicide during the pandemic is "people will get it wrong/no one will notice". If those still matter, there's hope.
To everyone else: Please help me recall that quote about "being kind to those who help others, because they're often in more pain than you realize". I can't remember the exact words, let alone who said it, but it's very applicable here. Same as it was to Mr. Robin Williams, God rest his bright soul.
Thanks Drew, needed this.
I understand your feelings. I have followed you since agt and this made me cry. You truly are a light in a lot of people's lives, including mine. You made me cry and laugh. Thank you for being you.
ya know, Drew. You speak truth. It's sad how I had the almost exact same conversation with myself.
I'm glad we both pulled through.. i appreciate you. Your comedy is so clever and concise. A treasure to the art. You may not want to hear this, but, yes.. initially it was the stutter.. but what kept me was your observations and how you sculpted the point of view.
You're a talent. and I'm glad you're still with us.
Band wagon sadness😂 you said it drew , thanks for always cheering me up
Thank you! I really needed to hear this. It's been rough lately.
Even though you put a funny twist on this, I really hope that you have a support system and are able to find a successful way to cope and understand your depression so it doesn't go so far as your suicidal feelings. Remember, your depression or any disorder, is not a monster. It is there for a reason. Until that reason is found and then aided (through therapy, meds, good support system and/or good coping skills) you will feel stuck in that black tunnel of hopelessness. The more we treat these parts of ourselves like they are diseases to be hidden and eradicated, the bigger and worse our stuff gets. You've done something incredibly brave and amazing by sharing any of what you did. And I hope it took some of the darkness out by being able to bring it to the light. 🌻
As a New Years Baby, January 1st, this hit to hard
OMG! I love what you have shared here! Thank u 💕
HOLY FUCK DREW, As both a comedian, and as a long time member of the depressed club, THIS BIT IS FUCKIN BRILLIANT MAN!!!!!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR DREW. I'm VERY HAPPY YOU CHOSE NOT TO MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Matt - Toronto, Canada
Well done! Totally understand completely!
Thank you for talking about this. ❤
this is like bo burnham stuff, DREW YOU ARE AMAZING, BRO
