A Seattle native now suffering in Southern California, Dustin Nickerson is an in-demand comic on the rise. In 2020, he released his debut comedy special, "Overwhelmed," which is currently one of the highest-rated specials on Amazon Prime Video.
In addition, he’s been featured on Comedy Central and Netflix by Kevin Hart, the Late Late Show with James Corden, Fox, and Hulu, and can regularly be heard on Sirius Radio XM.
His stand-up clips and jokes have received tens of millions of views online, and his podcast, Don’t Make Me Come Back There, has over a million downloads.
He’s also the author of "How to be Married to Melissa," an Amazon #1 New Release published by Harper Collins in June 2022.
Dustin describes himself as “the world’s most average person” but is far from it when on stage. He brings you into his life through his jokes about the struggles of parenting, marriage, and being generally annoyed by most people.
At 38 years old, Dustin has been married for 18 years and has three kids. This helps Dustin truly become one of the most unique voices in the comedy scene.

Dustin, Zoltan, and Greg...that's a fun running group right there!

Tip from abroad: after sports in the heat drink non-alcoholic beer or apple juice mixed with mineral water. It’s amazing. And last September I thought for about 3 days I might be becoming diabetic because I was so thirsty and couldn’t get enough water. Until I remembered I’d been biking my kids around our city in the heat and I was just…dehydrated 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 so dumb

I'll go for Half Man, Half Bear, and Half Pig...

[@martinbednarczyk5814]

Is it a black bear or brown or white?

[@DRod1517]

Are we including Transmen when we say "Man?" Are we stating that all men are the same, even close to all bears? Why not ask perfect stranger? Why does the question assume it's even a choice? I find the whole question so loaded and unnuanced that it's just an intentional attempt to broad stroke an entire group of people in a negative light. Doesn't do anything to bring people together, it just serves to pit people against each other.
Sorry, just so tired of viral clips that don't really bring us together becoming normalized like they're such hot takes.

I totally get what you’re saying and it is important to keep in mind that we need to normalize a more non-binary discourse. For me as a heated feminist, I really appreciate that Dustin time and again comments on the damage cis men have caused to families and women. It’s come up repeatedly in the pods and I really respect that he casually and unemotionally points to toxic masculinity, even self-critically (re:showing emotions fir example). For me he comes across as a responsible parent and spouse who has done his homework. That being said, I’m Dustin and Melissa’s age (40) so we grew up with different vocabulary and discourses.
