In a recent appearance on the The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, comedian D.J. Demers had the audience in stitches with his hilarious stand-up routine. Demers, who is currently starring in the comedy series “One More Time” on YouTube, entertained the crowd with his unique brand of humor.
As a comedian who wears hearing aids, Demers discussed the benefits of having an interpreter at his shows, not only for his deaf audience members but also for his own self-esteem. He explained how he gets double and even triple waves of laughter – once from the hearing audience, and then again when the interpreter relays the joke to the deaf audience. With a touch of humor, Demers joked about the holy grail being a fourth wave of laughter, but humorously acknowledged that it would require a large number of “stupid” deaf people in the audience.
Moving on to the topic of hotels, Demers shared his experience of staying in sketchy accommodations while touring. He humorously confessed to feeling nervous because he takes off his hearing aids while sleeping, making him an easy target for murder. The comedian quipped about keeping one ear open when in particularly sketchy hotels and how the smell of marijuana in the hallway can be a giveaway of a less than reputable establishment. Demers also hilariously described his habit of requesting two keys at check-in, even though he’s alone, just to keep up appearances.
In a relatable twist, Demers touched on the modern phenomenon of unfollowing people on social media, specifically Instagram. He shared a story about unfollowing someone he had met at a party ten years ago, and humorously reflected on how he had unknowingly become invested in the person’s life through their daily posts. The comedian hilariously recounted the moment when he unfollowed the person, only to later receive a message from him, revealing a screenshot of an app that notifies users when someone unfollows them. Demers hilariously tried to salvage the situation by claiming it was a glitch and ultimately followed the person back.
D.J. Demers‘ stand-up routine on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon was filled with laughter-inducing moments and relatable observations. With his unique perspective as a comedian wearing hearing aids, Demers brought a refreshing and entertaining twist to his performance. Audiences were left in stitches as Demers shared his humorous experiences with sketchy hotels and the sometimes petty world of social media unfollowing.
