At the recent episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden, viewers were treated to a hilarious stand-up performance by the talented comedian Dylan Adler. Making his late-night debut, Adler had the audience in stitches with his outrageous and funny solo show.
During his performance, Adler shared some interesting tidbits about his life. He revealed that he is gay, and what’s more, he has an identical gay twin brother. The comedian humorously recounted the time when both he and his brother had a crush on the same girl, their best friend, Tanya. To help her decide who to choose, Tanya even wrote down their traits on a whiteboard, hilariously highlighting their differences.
Growing up, Adler and his brother often found themselves getting lumped together due to their similarities. In one amusing incident, a senior in high school approached them and remarked that they both resembled Emperor Shimizu, who reigned in Japan from 100 BC to 50 BC. Rather than being offended, they were excited about the compliment and even went as far as considering playing Emperor Shimizu in a musical biopic together.
Opening up about their journey of coming out, Adler shared that he and his brother were each other’s support system. They came out to each other first during their sophomore year of high school. It wasn’t until a year later that they decided to come out to their family. Surprisingly, their mother was thrilled with the news and embraced her newfound identity as a mother of two gay twin sons.
Adler couldn’t help but poke fun at his mother, jokingly referring to her as the “Asian Joan Rivers” due to her penchant for drama. However, she quickly became a passionate ally, supporting her sons throughout their journey of self-discovery.
In addition to their coming-out process, Adler also shared an interesting fact about his heritage. He is biracial, with a Japanese mother and a Jewish father. He spoke about the challenges of addressing both sides of his identity and the unique experience of coming out to his Japanese grandparents. Despite their family history during World War II, with his grandmother’s family experiencing Japanese internment in California while his grandfather signed up to be a kamikaze pilot, Adler’s grandparents surprised him with their acceptance.
The audience couldn’t get enough of Adler’s hilarious and insightful stand-up routine. With his clever jokes and relatable experiences, it’s safe to say that Adler’s career is on the rise. Fans can catch him in his solo show, “Hit That Track,” scheduled to take place on Tuesday, February 27th at the Dynasty Typewriter in Los Angeles.
