My special is live now at www.dropout.tv.
Thanks everybody for sticking with us through this whole thing. My head still isn't screwed on entirely straight but I have learned so much going through this process and one of those things is how lucky I am to have had so many opportunities and support and also a brain that is almost always interested in stuff!!
Dropout also has a "Pissing Out Cancer" shirt will all of the proceeds going to This Star Won't Go Out!

I'm so glad you are ok. I was misdiagnosed with a terminal illness for about 4 months. I had a very bad chest cold and the mucus had hardened in places into rubber-like plugs. When I was x-rayed for other reasons about 6 weeks later they hadn't broken down yet and in the x-ray they appeared to be empty spaces where the lung tissue should have been. I was diagnosed with advanced emphysema and told not to worry about it. I would wake up in the middle of the night and my first thought was "I'm dying". Then my blood pressure and adrenaline would spike so hard my ears would ring and I would be gasping for breath. I would stand by my bed in the dark because I had too much adrenaline to lie down and I would listen to my heart thundering and try to master myself. Sometimes I would just stand there for as much as half an hour, or go boil myself in a really hot bath to relax myself and rarely after 5 minutes or so I would just think.. Yeah, so what. Screw it and I could go back to sleep. 4 months later they re x-rayed me to see how far it had progressed and lo and behold ladies and gennlemun, I was cured. Lol Not really of course, he started to question me more closely. I told him of coughing up pieces of perfectly clear rubber like things that were sometimes larger than my thumb and had the imprints of alveoli in them and it finally came together that these were the dark spots in my lungs. Even ten months to a year later though I hadn't entirely recovered. I would still wake up and think of death and set my body's alarm system off. The depression stuck with me. I assessed my life and accomplishments and found myself wanting which made me more depressed... So, it's was about a year before the psychological effects of 4 months of being terminal began to wane. It trickled away but it's results aren't unnoticeable. It changed me. I guess some for the better and some for the worse. Life was more pleasant when I wasn't so constantly aware that life has an expiry date which I had never pondered before. On the other hand I had learned when I was "dying" that I actually had wanted children without realizing it before and that time had passed me by; and I became determined to discover who I was and what I really wanted instead of blundering through life and missing out on important things before I had discovered they were even important and finding the door to them had already been shut. I don't know why but I felt compelled to share that with you. I guess I wondered if you had any similar kind of experience but I also understand if you don't wish to share it publicly or even if it's just a matter of the time it's involved. I pray for continued good health for you....and happiness. Cheers. 🙃🥂

It’s so cool to hear this. Stand-up comedy saved me too. I went through some really awful things in my life and I couldn’t sleep at night because flashbacks and panic attacks kept me awake, tired, but terrified of what I might dream about. By listening to comedians make light of the different aspects of life, I learned to have a sense of humor, even about the trauma. I wish there was a way I could let those comedians know what a tremendous impact they made on me. Some nights, I literally owe them my life. Whether people see stand-up as a true artform or as a stupid way of getting attention, the comedians add tremendous good to the world without even knowing it.

hank, i want to say, when i was seventeen, i was falsely told that i had cancer. this mistake was not rectified for an entire month, when i went to see a surgeon about having my thyroid removed due to the cancer it supposedly contained and he was like "nope no surgery all is good here!" and that, was on june 28th, a week before my 18th birthday. so now, today, two weeks before my 20th birthday and one week before the 2 year anniversary of the day i found out i did not have cancer, watching your special was a very interesting journey to go on. (on another note, my mom also passed away when i was 17, a few months before The Month Where I Believed I Had Cancer, and the line about not being able to call your mom when you have cancer if she's dead is the only part of the show that made me cry). thank you for making your special. it brought comfort to a few parts of me that needed it. and if one day i do actually have cancer that i must flush from my body via urine, i will stand up to pee and yell at my toilet while i do it, and maybe laugh. (p.s yes my zodiac sign is cancer. i used to make a joke about it. since The Month, i don't do that anymore.)

As someone with chronic depression on top of chronic health issues and disability, it was moving to hear from the perspective of someone who's always been healthy and not depressed experiencing the opposite for the first time. It reminded me that the feeling you described-being uninterested in almost everything, constantly questioning the point of existing-isn't something most people spend their whole life feeling. In that sense it makes me very sad having the opposite life experience; that that feeling is the norm for me, and now and then there will be a period where I -am- interested in things and feel purpose in life. It's like we're the inverse of each other. Thank you for another thought-provoking video, Hank.

People with ADHD tend to have darker senses of humor, too! Comedy really is a way of life. As humans, We want to become more well-rounded, so please try more things that scare you and always go towards anything that's awkward.

I watched the special in the first few minutes it was available and it was great! Really had the right feel and flow of a routine and some parts that only you could pull off, like knowing about magnetism. You did a great job and I'm glad you got the chance to do it

Saw the special on the new release category of Dropout tonight and decided to watch that over diving back into Unsleeping City. Me and my husband got a kick out of your show. It felt authentic to you while at the same time being informative and entertaining. I'm glad you took the leap. And I think Sam's right about this bringing more eyes to give other comics a platform. Thanks for being you.

Hank, I loved the special! I laughed a lot. I really appreciated the amount of heartfelt and meaningful moments. I've lost a lot of family to cancer, and expected the special to hit me in the feels. It definitely did, but almost immediately after the teary-eyed moments I was laughing. I really really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, my life is now slightly worse after googling what you said not to google.

I feel this video shows how Hank is a story-telling master. Like, I know all of this, nothing of what he mentions (except the first convo he had with his primary care doctor) was new info to me, yet the fact that he lead us through the story, like he held our hand and carefully guide us from start to end, felt so special and he had my full attention. I loved it, thanks Hank💜

I just finished the special Hank and it’s SO good! I was nervous the first, literally, maybe two to three minutes that it wasn’t going to feel like a “real” comedy special but I was so wrong! It was so funny, well paced, and well thought out. The jokes and the stories connected well; you killed it. Also so excited to see the other comedy specials coming to dropout!

@kiranicole2096 Ай бұрын

I laughed more at this special than I have for any other comedy show I've ever seen, and that's not an exaggeration. It's SO GOOD, Hank. It's good because it's personal and it means so much to you and also to us, who have felt like a part of your journey for a really long time now. It was exactly my brand of humor, and I know a ton of other nerdfighters feel the same. I'm so fucking proud of you for doing the thing!

My father passed of cancer 2 years ago. It was stage 3 pencreactic cancer, we knew from the start that it was fatal. He passed about 6 months from the diagnosis. In those 6 months we never talked about death. I was the only one in my family that acknowledged it, but every one else used denial as coping mechanism, which made me feel very lonely. Seeing your special made me feel a bit less lonely. Like I am not the only one who chooses to see things as they are. I am happy that you are ok. ❤

Hank, I just watched the special... and I enjoyed it so much! It was a wonderful mix of funny and darkly honest... well, in the sense that "dickhole Trent, his clones, and their ant progenitors" is a weirdly honest description of cancer 😅 The whole ending bit about how you're "really feeling, Jolina" was a whirlwind of just surreal entertainment mixed with a bit of painful recognition and empathy. Thank you for putting it all out there on stage; and, I guess, you're welcome for being part of Nerdfighteria, who enabled you to want something that we, in turn, end up wanting as well 💗 (Also, did you know that if you stick a magnet to a piece of metal, sometimes it turns into a magnet, too, for a little while?)

I just want you to know that I have seen the special in it's entirety 3 times. I've shown it to my friends and family, and I've encouraged those whom I have not shown it to to watch it. I laughed and I cried, and I felt deeply connected with what it means to be human. I have never seen a piece of media like your comedy special Hank. It was hilarious and yet it honestly dealt with deeply worrying issues and experiences. It was so genuine and moving and honestly I'm a little bewildered. It was a privilege to hear your thoughts and to laugh with you. You are a great writer, and I am so thankful for all that you do.

Congratulations Hank! I don't usually watch stand up, but I look forward to seeing your special. As a long time dropout subscriber and fan, I can't recommend it enough. I probably spend more time watching Dropout these days than I do Netflix. It can't top KZfaq, but Dropout has a large and amazing variety of content and shows. Love watching Dropout and I'm happy to see even more of you on that platform!

Just watched the show and it was astoundingly good. Every single bit worked. I've never seen a stand-up gig that consistently good, and very few have made me laugh harder, longer or more often. I normally get very quickly bored with stuff, but you got me paying attention and laughing right through the whole hour. And -- added bonus -- it's really super informative about cancer and also a lot of other stuff, and also genuinely heartwarming.

I subscribe to dropout as a youtube membership, so I'll just copy the comment I posted on the special here on youtube: This was great! I am home alone and laughed out loud several times, not every comedy special can achieve that. Also, I really appreciate the crowd shots of the people wearing facemasks!! Edit: the good news bridge is lovely Edit 2 (because that is normal for a youtube comment): "further reading, because that's normal for the credits of a comedy show"???? Hank, that's incredible ❤✍

I watched your standup as a P4A reward and loved it. THEN I watched your comedy special on Dropout and LOVED IT!!!!! It was so interesting to hear about your experience, as well as see your growth as a standup comedian. Amazing job!! Also, I completely agree that Dropout is the best streaming service around. I watch their content more often than any other platform.
