America's Got Talent

Lynch auditioned for the 10th season of America's Got Talent in 2015. After his live audition, Howie Mandel pressed the Golden Buzzer that sent Lynch straight to the Quarterfinals at Radio City Music Hall. Lynch performed in Week 1 of the Quarterfinals and in Week 1 of the Semifinals and received enough votes to reach the Finals. Lynch finished in the Top 5 acts and eventually placed second behind ventriloquist Paul Zerdin.[2]

YouTube

Lynch has a YouTube channel where he posts content and occasionally streams a show called Dog Vlog.[3] Lynch's videos feature him talking to viewers about his life with his service dog, as well as his self-deprecating comedy.[4] The channel has over 2 million subscribers.

Beginning in December 2017, Lynch starred in a flash animation series named Therapy Dog, created with animator Tony Celano.[5] The series is about a character called Andy (Lynch) repeating his daily struggles with his dog Stella acting as his therapist.

Lynch released his first album, Concussed, to streaming services in November 2021.[6]

Personal life

Lynch has a stutter, a condition he developed after a softball accident that hit him in the throat, damaging his vocal cords and knocking him down, resulting in traumatic brain injury. [7] His voice healed over time.
