One of the industry’s leading touring comics, Gillis is currently in the midst of a 39-city international tour. From Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, Gillis released his triumphant self-funded debut Shane Gillis: Live in Austin in 2021, a breakthrough hit with over 40 million views. In 2023, he released his follow-up Netflix special, Beautiful Dogs. The critically acclaimed and fan-favorite special reached the Netflix Top 10 in five countries and spent two weeks on the US Top 10 list. Beautiful Dogs was produced by All Things Comedy and Gillis’ own production company, Dad Sick Productions, which he runs with longtime comedy partner and fellow Philadelphia local John McKeever.

Alongside McKeever, Gillis released season two of his beloved scripted series Tires in 2025. The season debuted in the Top Ten and was celebrated by reviewers. Gillis is also co-creator and star of the hugely popular web series Gilly & Keeves. The sketch series, premiering in 2020, spawned an acclaimed feature-length special in 2022. He will next be seen alongside Christian Bale and Nicolas Cage in David O. Russell’s Madden, and with Al Pacino and Vince Vaughn in Nic Pizzolatto’s Easy’s Waltz.

Gillis also co-hosts the comedy podcast Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast with comedian Matt McCusker. The show is the number one Patreon podcast in the world and has consistently ranked in the Top 15 on Spotify’s US Comedy Charts. The duo recently announced a major partnership with Spotify to bring video episodes to the platform, marking an exciting new chapter for their devoted audience.

Beyond stand-up, Gillis has expanded his presence in major commercial campaigns. He starred in Bud Light’s blockbuster 2025 Super Bowl ad alongside Post Malone and Peyton Manning, one of the brand’s most successful ads to date, ranking #7 on USA Today’s AdMeter and becoming the most mentioned Super Bowl campaign in Anheuser-Busch history. He also appeared in a widely praised digital spot for Under Armour, rallying Notre Dame’s Fighting Irish.
