If you follow Rob Delaney on Twitter — and, with a robust 1.16 million followers, there’s a good chance you do — you might get the sense that he’s a bit of a wild man. Hailed as one of the first comics to truly embrace Twitter’s potential as a comic medium, Delaney’s 140-character comedy (much like his stand-up) is relentlessly absurd, unabashedly foul-mouthed and obsessed with all manner of gross bodily functions (sample: “Cheap date idea: cut open a pack of hotdogs & squeeze the juice over your lover’s body then summon a peregrine falcon with your mind”). It has also turned him into a veritable comedic legend, along with accolades like being the first person to win “Funniest Person on Twitter” at Comedy Central’s Comedy Awards.
