MYQ KAPLAN
VANCOUVER, B.C., 2026
OCTOBER 22 + 24
Get ready, Vancouver: acclaimed comedian Myq Kaplan is coming to town for two shows, bringing the kind of sharp, wordplay-driven material that's earned him spots on The Tonight Show, Conan, Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Seth Meyers, and America's Got Talent.
Known for stand-up that blends clever linguistic twists with genuine wit, he takes on everything from relationships to the absurdities of everyday logic, packing dense laughs into every minute on stage.
A former Last Comic Standing finalist with specials on Netflix and Amazon (including "Small, Dork, and Handsome"), Myq has built a devoted following with albums like "Vegan Mind Meld" and the chart-topping "A.K.A.," which the New York Times called "invigoratingly funny."
Myq’s latest special, “Rini,” was released in November 2025.
