Drew Vollmer is a writer and performer currently based in Los Angeles. He grew up all over the map, from St. Louis to Toronto, Boston, and Philadelphia, so the question of “where he’s from” never gets a short answer. In 2018, Drew graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill with a double major in Communication Studies and Peace, War, & Defense. For four years at North Carolina, he performed and wrote with False Profits, the premiere standup, sketch, and improv troupe on campus.
Since settling down in Tinseltown, Drew interned with the show It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and now earns his keep as a PA for production offices and writers’ rooms— Most recently on That ‘90s Show for Netflix. His writing hopes to highlight stories that satirize the complexities and contradictions of our overconnected modern world. Sidesplitting stuff, I’m sure.
In his off time, you might find Drew shredding on his rollerblades down the sidewalks of Van Nuys, and by that he means trying not to fall while the neighbor’s Pomeranian chases him.
