Chasing Comedy - Episode 36: Wordplay, Squids & The Art of Noticing with Myq Kaplan
Description
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.
