Myq Kaplan

I’m on the television’s website!

It’s not June 20 yet, but here’s a sneak peek that Comedy Central has put up on the internet:

An interview!

People keep talking to and about Myq.

Like the Weekly Dig, here.

Best of Boston!

The latest issue of the Boston Phoenix has its Best of Boston awards.

Myq Kaplan is the Best Local Comedian.

Thanks to everyone who voted and helped make art a democracy like it should be.

Myq is written about! By someone other than himself!

Welcome to the website!

This appeared on the internet today:
a blog about Myq by comedy writer-about Sean McCarthy.
Also this appeared in the paper AND internet today (double fancy):
a brief blurb about Myq by comedy writer-about Nick Zaino.
Thanks for coming to Myq’s website to read about Myq on other websites. Go, internet.

Also, if you’d like to receive messages about Myq and his comedy, fill in the form below.
If you already receive such messages, you can (and should*) join this mailing list also/instead, and leave the other group if you like.
(Also feel free to find Myq on Myspace and/or Facebook, where he has a group you can join also, if this isn’t enough.)

*By saying you “should,” it’s not to put an ethical judgment on people who don’t. We’re talking about being practical here. This is about what will help us all.

Myq will be on Comedy Central’s “Live at Gotham” on June 20 at 10pm!

Comedy Central is a cable station that broadcasts comedy to televisions and internets all around the world.

“Live at Gotham” is a show on that station that features standup comedians like me (and now not just comedians LIKE me, but also specifically me, along with some hilarious good friends of mine).

Gotham is a comedy club in New York City where the show was taped.

New York City is a city in the state of New York. “New York State of Mind” is a song by Billy Joel. Stream of consciousness is a style of writing.

Thanks for reading words on your screen!

Myq comes in second in the Boston Comedy Festival

Myq competed in the finals of the Boston Comedy Festival this weekend.
He came in second place. He is happy.

Here is something that Bostonist.com said about Myq’s performance in his preliminary round: “Kaplan was going in as a local favorite, and he definitely exhibited one of the most polished stage presences of the night.”

Here is something that Bostonist.com said about Myq’s performance in the finals: “Bostonist Honorable Mentions go to Myq Kaplan and Robert Mac. Judging from the applause streaming Kaplan’s way, either he brought a busload of friends, or he is one of the most beloved comedians in this city. He also deserves propers for cooking up some of the most clever jokes of the night.”

(a little passive aggressive, but mostly nice… thanks, Bostonist)
PS There were over 700 people in the audience. So even a busload of people would only have been a small fraction thereof, as most buses fit what, like 50 people? (I don’t know much about bus math.)

Myq went to the finals of Comedy Central’s Open Mic Fight…

Here is the set Myq did to advance from the first round in Boston:

(The first jokes told refer back to jokes made by previous comedian Cesar Cervantes, who spoke about specific Catholic and Jewish things such that these comments made perfect funny sense. Just in case you were wondering.)

Thanks a quillion to everyone who voted all week to make Myq the East Coast wild card winner.

Someone interviewed Myq…

There’s a write-up about Myq in BU Today today (in today’s BU Today? in BUday’s Toto Tutu?).

Read it here if you like.

You can see Myq on Comedy Central’s website

Voting in the Comedy Central competition I’m in starts TODAY, Monday, August 6, at noon at http://www.comedycentral.com/openmicfight/.

Here’s a page of Myq on their website.

Thanks for coming to this website and knowing how to read, probably.

Or at least thanks for enjoying the pretty pictures.

Please enjoy looking around, having internet fun, reading, watching Myq’s comedy, etc. Feel free to contact us with compliments, complaints, or anything else that starts with “comp” (or anything that doesn’t).

This site, like everything in life, is (and probably always will be) a work in progress. Thank you for being a part of it.
