Queer comedian Dax Hilton is putting the “com” in “rom-com.” Well, technically, he’s putting the “rom” in it too, thanks to a viral interaction with an audience member at one of his recent shows.
Hilton, per his TikTok bio, is “one of those bisexys,” so when an attractive audience member complimented him at the beginning of his set, he couldn’t help but take notice.
“You look great,” the heckler said.
“I look great? You look great,” Hilton replied. “Wait, what’s your name?”

The interaction eve had an adorably awkward miscommunication, when Hilton told Chase he liked his sleeve.
“Which one?” Chase asked.
“You don’t — the tattoos?” Hilton answered, confused. “The left one, I don’t know.”
Their meet-cute ended with Chase telling Hilton he appreciated him.
“Of course. I appreciate you,” Hilton said back. “I hope you think I’m funny. We’ll see. Wow, I’m so nervous. He’s so f*cking cute.”
With that, Hilton launched into his set, leaving his viewers on TikTok with no shortage of burning questions.
“So 👏🏼 how 👏🏼 did 👏🏼 it 👏🏼 end,” asked one commenter.
“DAX PLZ WE NEED TO KNOW THE REST!” wrote another.
“I need details… aftermath details,” demanded a third.

“I’m so here for this lore,” commented a third. “I hope you fall in love.”
Clearly, there’s a demand for more in the story of Chase and Dax — but for now, a minute-long TikTok is all we’ve got. Maybe Hilton’s next set will include a joke or two about his viral flirtation.
