Hello, I’m Esteban Gast and I'm an award-winning Colombian-American comedian and writer. I've lived a few lives; teacher, author, president of an eco-community, and startup COO. 

Then, I found my passion: comedy about things that matter.

My work has been called "irreverent but aspirational" by Variety and honestly, they nailed it. I've performed at comedy festivals like Netflix Is A Joke Fest and hosted comedy projects for folks like OutsideTV, SoulPancake, and a Spotify Original Podcast Identity at Play.

With Yellow Dot Studios, the impact storytelling project from Oscar Winner Adam McKay, I've done a bunch of fun things including host the show "So You Think You Can Science," host their monthly stand up "Let's Not Die" show (which has included comedians like John Mulaney and Nikki Glaser) and currently host "Do You Even Care?" which is executive produced by Adam McKay himself (thanks buddy!).

I'm currently serving as the comedian-in-residence at Generation180 where I helped create the Climate Comedy Cohort and Climate Cultura. In 2023, I was chosen as a Grist50 Fixer. In 2024, my work won an Anthem Award, and I was selected as one of the top 100 Latinos in the world taking action on climate change, but I think that list should just be 100 abuelitas sharing how they reuse the Royal Dansk Danish Butter Cookies container for random items. I've always liked the earth (kinda my favorite planet) and my TV journey started when I starred in a VICELAND tv show called "Jungletown," which followed me around the eco-community I mentioned earlier. 

I co-wrote a movie Thena (coming out in 2025), and the book and lyrics for "Teacher of the Year," a comedy musical, which was a 2024 finalist for the O'Neil. This bio has gotten long so I'm just going to end it now.

You can read more about me and my work in the Guardian, Grist, Remezcla, Hollywood Reporter, ABC Nightline, and NPR's "Science Friday" among others.

Reach out below and say hey!
