Drew Hastings is a raconteur with a lot of stories to tell. Before becoming a comedian at age thirty-one, Drewβs escapades included owning a trucking business (his story βHomo Truckβ is a must-hear), running a document shredding company that never actually shredded any documents, leading archaeological expeditions (some would call him βlooterβ) to South America, and playing polo with stolen horses at polo clubs in Washington, DC and Cincinnati, OH.
And, his foray into psychedelic drug dealing in the early Seventies using a pyramid marketing scheme modeled after Mary Kay Cosmetics is hilarious, though like most of his stories, one never knows when heβll tell it again.
Drew moved from Ohio to Los Angeles in the early 1990βs, where he was quickly noticed by the entertainment industry. His acting talent landed him a number of guest-starring roles and he has done television pilots for some of the big networks including Fox, NBC, and HBO. He has also made many stand-up appearances on television and is one of a very elite group of comedians to have received a standing ovation on βThe Tonight Show.β
His storied and colorful life has been the subject of three different one-person shows, βCommencement Speech,β βLife & Other Short Storiesβ and βThe Business of Living,β a satire of the success/motivational industry. His character from that show, Jack Freeman, found an immediate cult following in Los Angeles, and in 2001 caught the attention of the nationally syndicated Bob and Tom Radio Show, where the hilarious Freeman was introduced to a much wider national audience. Drewβs initial appearances on the Bob and Tom Show were so well received that he soon became a regular guest, regaling listeners with his stories, questioning his life and everyone elseβs, and giving his comedic opinions on just about any topic that comes up. Drew spends much of his time headlining with βThe Friends of the Bob and Tom Showβ which has played over 70 cities thus far.
βThe Bob and Tom Show has been a perfect outlet for me,β says Drew. βI tend to have a no-nonsense Mid-western attitude and their show is a Midwest-based show with a huge National reach.β He adds, βHollywood has never figured out what to do with me, so Iβm just doing it myself.β
When heβs not touring he can be found on his farm in Ohio.
