Gareth Reynolds
Gareth Patrick Reynolds (born November 27, 1979) is an American comedian, podcaster, producer, and writer. He is best known for co-hosting The Dollop, a weekly comedy history podcast in which his friend and fellow comedian Dave Anthony surprises him each time with a shocking or notable story from American history that he hears for the first time during the recording.
Gareth Patrick Reynolds was born in Brown Deer, Wisconsin, on November 27, 1979, the son of English immigrants from Birmingham. He has an older brother. He holds dual British and American citizenship. His mother, Pam, has since moved back to England. As a teenager, Reynolds worked at Comedy Sportz in Milwaukee. He attended Emerson College in Boston, where he joined the improv group Swollen Monkeys. Another group member, Evan Mann, has since been his writing partner for over 20 years. Upon graduating in 2003, he moved to Los Angeles to continue his comedy career.
Reynolds currently co-hosts the podcasts The Dollop, a weekly comedy history podcast in which Dave Anthony tells him a shocking or notable story from American history of which he has no knowledge; The Past Times, a weekly comedy history podcast in which Anthony reads him and a new weekly guest the main stories of a newspaper from a particular day in history; and We're Here to Help, a bi-weekly comedy advice podcast with Jake Johnson.
Gareth was co-hosting The Naughty Show with Sam Tripoli when Anthony appeared on the show as a guest, with the pair's comedic chemistry prompting Anthony to invite Reynolds to occasionally fill in for Greg Behrendt on the Walking the Room podcast. In 2014, Reynolds was slated to be the first guest on Anthony's history podcast The Dollop, which was originally supposed to feature a new guest each episode; Reynolds ended up being the show's permanent co-host. On the show, Anthony tells Reynolds a story from American history of which Reynolds has no knowledge. He serves as an audience surrogate, reacting to the story and using his improv skills to add levity to the stories, some of which delve into the darkest periods of American history. As a running joke on the show, Anthony often shortens Reynolds' first name from "Gareth" to "Gary" and has encouraged audiences to chant "Gary" during live shows to annoy him. The pair started The Past Times in 2022, which involves Anthony reading stories from a historical newspaper to Reynolds and a new guest each week.
In 2023, Reynolds convinced his long-time friend Jake Johnson to co-host a comedy advice podcast with him. The pair, and sometimes a guest, speak to callers and offer "free advice that feels free". Similar to the "Gary" running joke on The Dollop, Johnson often calls Reynolds his childhood nickname "Garfie" to annoy him.
In 2025, Reynolds launched a third Podcast called Next We Have. It's a segment based comedy podcast with three new premises every episode.
From 2014 to 2021, Reynolds co-hosted Point vs. Point with Evan Mann.
Reynolds first tried stand-up comedy when he moved to New York City to work on a TV show, and has since performed across the United States, Australia, and Europe. In 2019, he released his debut comedy album Riddled with Disease, which went to No. 1 on the Billboard charts the week it was released. His comedy special England, Weed, & The Rest premiered on YouTube in 2022.
