Chasing Comedy - Episode 36: Wordplay, Squids & The Art of Noticing with Myq Kaplan
Manage episode 501804696 series 3607353
Host Brian Scott McFadden is joined by comedian and wordplay wizard Myq Kaplan (Comedy Central, Netflix, Amazon, Dry Bar) for a fast, funny, and thoughtful conversation about the craft of comedy.
They dive into Myq’s obsession with language, the balance between writing and performance, and why sometimes the journey of a joke matters more than the punchline. Along the way, you’ll hear riffs about:
Hamlet’s “Tooth B or Not Tooth B”
Couples that share everything… including squids and monks
Steakhouse hecklers and comedy tropes
Meditation, noticing, and the creative process
A mix of philosophy, absurdity, and punchlines, this episode captures what makes Myq’s comedy unique—and why he’s one of the most inventive comics working today.
