As a result of the duality of his act, Lynch turned heads in the music industry as well as on the comedy circuit. He attracted extra attention usually not available to comics by playing venues more often suited to music than to comedy (eventually graduating to hugely famous locations such as the House of Blues, The Town Hall and the esteemed Kennedy Center). He gained great national exposure with his Comedy Central Presents special in 2000, one of the highest rated in the network's history. He has made appearances on Comedy Central's Premium Blend, The World Comedy Tour and The World Stands Up. He has also made four appearances on Last Call with Carson Daly, and has performed at the prestigious Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal, Canada. In addition, Lynch was voted by an Atlanta, Georgia columnist as one of America's sexiest men, and has acquired a devoted following of besotted female fans. Lynch has opened for comedians Jay Mohr, Jeff Foxworthy, Steven Wright, Bobcat Goldthwait and Lewis Black. In the summer of 2004, he went on a tour co-headlining with Mitch Hedberg. The tour was such a success that they added an extra leg and ran into 2005. This was the last tour of Hedberg's before his death. He has also appeared in five short films, including The Love Seat in 1999 and The Confetti Brothers in 2001. Both films were written and directed by Kirker Butler. The Confetti Brothers, a satire, screened to packed houses at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival. It continues to play the film festival circuit. As of July 2nd, 2002, Butler has announced to The Courier Journal that Lynch will compose the music for his upcoming feature-length movie musical, Bats: The Vampire Baseball Musical Comedy. Lynch is currently playing the title role of Robbie Hart in the Broadway musical version of the 1998 New Line Cinema film (starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore), The Wedding Singer, which opened on Broadway on April 27th, 2006 at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre. The musical, Lynch's Broadway debut, co-stars two-time Tony Award nominee Laura Benanti in the Barrymore role of Julia Sullivan. The April 2006 opening followed a successful preview run in Seattle at The 5th Avenue Theatre which ran from January 31st-February 19th. Previews began in New York on March 30th. His performance has earned him nominations for Drama League and Drama Desk awards, as well as a nomination for the coveted Tony Award.
