Myq Kaplan is a stand-up comedian with credits on The Tonight Show, Conan, Letterman, Corden, Seth Meyers, Comedy Central, Last Comic Standing, Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell, and America’s Got Talent. He has a half-hour special on Comedy Central, a full-hour special on Amazon titled Small, Dork, and Handsome, and a Dry Bar special called Live From the Universe. His podcasts, The Faucet and Broccoli and Ice Cream, offer a steady stream of insight, absurdity, and wordplay.

Critics love him too: Chortle called his Edinburgh debut “a must-see for comedy connoisseurs,” while EdFringeReview dubbed his return an “unassuming smash hit.” His album Vegan Mind Meld landed in iTunes’ top 10, and his latest release A.K.A. debuted at #1 and was hailed as “invigoratingly funny” by The New York Times.

That’s the past. The future? Even funnier.
