The Comedians magazine calls him a comedy machine, in the best possible way. the way that some machines vend soda or prevent other machines from killing future revolutionaries thats how Myq Kaplan does comedy: relentlessly, methodically, unblinkingly.
Also featuring Matt Gubser performs across the country and internationally, touching on topics ranging fatherhood, dating, sex, politics, & religion, intermingling personal anecdotes and biting social commentary, all couched in a comfortable, relaxed delivery.
