Dylan Mulvaney Attempts Standup Comedy Career – Immediately Gets Shut Down

March 07, 2024

The transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney is trying to launch a standup comedy career. Unfortunately for the influencer, however, it is not going well, as social media users are blasting Mulvaney’s jokes as being “cringe.”

Mulvaney’s Standup Comedy Act

Daily Mail reported that after costing Bud Light’s parent company Anheuser-Busch $1.4 billion in sales last year, Mulvaney decided that standup comedy was the way to go. It didn’t take long for social media users to shut this notion down, however.

After Mulvaney took the stage at a Utah comedy club, viewers said that the set was “cringe” and that the audience was “clapping not because it’s funny, but because they want to be supportive.”

“Look at me doing stand up,” Mulvaney said in a clip posted to social media after appearing at Wiseguys Salt Lake City back in January while wearing a knitted pink crop top and white skirt.

Mulvaney went on to touch on the Bud Light boycott that was launched by conservatives last year after the brand teamed up with the transgender influencer.

“The conservative men are just p****d that I can beat them in beer pong,” Mulvaney said. “And the conservative women are p****d that their kids are calling me ‘mother’ in all of my Instagram comments.”

Social Media Users Fire Back

Though Mulvaney claimed to be “so happy” that the show “went so well,” social media users made it clear that this was not the case at all.

“Dylan Mulvaney is arguably one of the most attention-seeking individuals in recent history,” one user commented, with another simply adding, “Soooo cringe.”

“Confirmed, not even men pretending to be women are good at comedy,” a third user commented. A fourth person wrote, “I feel like the clapping is not because it’s funny, but because they want to be supportive, Which is sweet, but not comedy.”

After Mulvaney teamed up with Bud Light for a partnership last year, conservatives launched a highly effective boycott of the brand that resulted in its parent company Anheuser-Busch losing $1.4 billion in 2023, “primarily due to the volume declined of Bud Light,” according to CNN, citing the brewer’s fourth-quarter earnings report.

“In the U.S., performance remains very underwhelming with revenue down at double-digit rates as the group lost market share,” said Aarin Chiekrie, an equity analyst at online investing platform Hargreaves Lansdown.

Mulvaney Abandons Bud Light

Mulvaney abandoned Bud Light almost immediately after the boycott began.

“For a company to hire a trans person and then not publicly stand by them is worse than not hiring a trans person at all,” Mulvaney said in a video posted to social media in June of last year, according to Billboard. “It gives customers permission to be as transphobic and hateful as they want.”

“And the hate doesn’t end with me. It has serious and grave consequences for the rest of our community,” Mulvaney added. “And we’re customers too. I know a lot of trans and queer people who love beer.”

Mulvaney went on to claim to be “scared” to leave the house, and to be experiencing “a loneliness that I wouldn’t wish on anyone.”

“To turn a blind eye and pretend everything is OK — it just isn’t an option right now,” Mulvaney concluded. “And you might say, ‘But Dylan, I don’t want to get political.’ Babe, supporting trans people, it shouldn’t be political. There should be nothing controversial or divisive about working with us.”

There is quite literally nothing funny about Mulvaney, so we can’t imagine why the transgender influencer thought standup comedy was a good idea. Only time will tell if Mulvaney decides to grab the microphone and subject the world to an unfunny standup comedy set again.
