We caught up with Drew Beans in Los Angeles, California, to talk about his journey in comedy and how he’s continuing to evolve beyond viral success. Known as one half of the legendary comedy duo TeamPlay, Drew has spent years helping create some of the most recognizable skits on social media, earning millions of views and a loyal fan base along the way.
In this Cutty TV interview, Drew takes us back to the beginning, how TeamPlay was formed, the chemistry between Drew and Stac, and how the duo became a staple in online comedy culture. While many fans know TeamPlay for their skits, Drew opens up about his decision to transition from digital content to live stand-up comedy, a move he says wasn’t nearly as easy as it looks from the outside.
Drew speaks candidly about the challenges of taking his comedy to the stage and how working alongside comedy legends helped him sharpen his craft. Those experiences, he explains, allowed him to skip many of the early mistakes most comedians make, giving him a deeper understanding of the game, even if he hasn’t yet reached his final destination. “I’m not where I want to be yet,” Drew shares, “but I know I’m way further than most because of the knowledge I’ve gained.”
Coming from Camden, New Jersey, and now performing on stages across Los Angeles and beyond, Drew reflects on how the support he’s received nationwide has fueled his confidence and reaffirmed his belief in his path. The love from different cities and audiences continues to push him to grow, experiment, and level up as a comedian.
To close out the conversation, Drew offers advice to up-and-coming comedians who aspire to reach major stages and gives fans an early preview of his upcoming comedy special. It’s an honest look at growth, patience, and evolution, both on and off the stage. Watch the full Drew Beans interview series below.
