Andrew Dismukes’ Career

Dismukes began writing comedy scripts as a child, which led him to study screenwriting in college. After his first open-mic event, he decided to improve his material. The immediate feedback from stand-up helped improve his writing gradually.

Pretty soon he was booking comedy events, and would be one of the New Faces of the 2017 Just For Laughs festival. A professional in the comedy scene noticed his talent and signed Dismukes as a client.

Dismukes was getting gigs in California when his new manager came to him with an opportunity to work for Saturday Night Live.

“I was asked to audition in New York City and it’s a different process depending on the person’s approach whether they do sketches or characters and my strength is standup,” Dismukes recalled. “On the first audition, you go into the studio on the main stage and it’s empty except for three older guys in the seats including Lorne Michaels. It’s intimidating. You can hear the lack of laughter in your head.”

After a second audition, Dismukes was selected to SNL’s team of writers. He moved to New York, where he learned and grew as a comedic writer producing sketches at SNL.

After his first on-screen role in the 2018 movie Call Me Brother, he’s now moving from the writing team to the cast of SNL. He will make his SNL debut with the new additions in the upcoming season.
