[edit] Biography

Equal parts wild-haired beatnik poet and mad scientist, Dylan Rhymer is one of Vancouver’s boldest voices in political comedy. His shows are a rapid-fire blend of surreal concepts bordering on the disturbing and razor-sharp social commentary which has gained him comparisons to figures as diverse as Jonathan Swift, Bill Hicks and Charlie Chaplin. His comedy is an hilarious mix of scathing indictments of all society’s sacred cows which leaves audiences questioning where they themselves stand while exhausted with laughter. In a typical show he’ll mercilessly skewer topics such as religious zealotry, drug addiction, the abortion debate, the fashion industry, corporate greed, brand-name consumer culture and whatever else falls in the path of his uncanny eye for the ironic.

He has extensively toured Canada, the U.S. and Great Britain. While in the U.K. his standout performances around London gained him invitations to The Comedy Store, The Gilded Balloon, Oxford University and The Edinburgh Fringe Festival. On this side of the pond he has toured the country performing at the Vancouver International Comedy Festival and Chicago Sketchfest.He has shared the stage with acts as varying as Zach Galifianakis, Christine Taylor, Doug Stanhope and Mitch Hedberg.

Residing in Vancouver, Canada, he’s the co-creator and frequent headliner at the Laugh Gallery, a weekly multi-media comedy venue featuring stand-up, sketch and short films which has quickly become the hub of the West Coast alternative comedy scene.

His short films have been featured in numerous festivals worldwide. During his stay in Great Britain his pilot script “Mondopitch” placed as a finalist in Channel 4’s Best New Sitcom competition. He is prominantly featured in the video game Scarface: The World is Yours as Dick Hackney an obnoxious stand-up comedian. Dylan is thrilled that somewhere out there thousands of stoned people are blowing his head off.

He is more than just funny; he is passionate and intelligent, thoughtful and provocative. His comedy is brutally honest and socially relevant. It goes straight for the jugular while nibbling on your earlobe. It thrives on the adage that every tool is weapon if you hold it right.
