Celebrated comic Myq Kaplan comes to Sandpoint

By Reader Staff

To be a standup comedian — at least a good one — you need a certain amount of self-reflection, wit and ability to laugh at yourself. Some people have it, some people don’t. Myq Kaplan, a distinguished comic with myriad TV appearances under his belt, has it in spades.

Continuing an impressive tour that spans two coasts, Kaplan will bring his standup routine to Sandpoint  on Friday, Nov. 13 with an 7 p.m. show at the Panida Little Theater (300 N. First Ave.). 

Kaplan’s fast, punny comedy rooted in his everyday experiences has landed him on the Tonight Show, Comedy Central, Last Comic Standing, America’s Got Talent and on the stage next to the likes of Conan O’Brien, David Letterman, James Corden and Seth Meyers. That makes sense, because Kaplan seemingly never stops.

In addition to packing theaters around the nation, he’s also created several comedy specials, two podcasts, a book of illustrated jokes and had his recorded routines land as one of iTunes’ top 10 comedy albums. The New York Times even called his most recent comedy album, A.K.A., “invigoratingly funny.” He shares the stage with Missoula Mont.-based comedian Aubrey Juden, whose scalding, nonchalant comedy has endeared her to audiences across the Inland Northwest.

Catch a glimpse of their comedy styles at myqkaplan.com or on Juden’s YouTube page — or better yet, buy a ticket and wait to be surprised. Tickets are $25 online at panida.org.
