Hello, I’m Esteban Gast and I'm an award-winning Colombian-American comedian and writer.

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 host Yellow Dot's monthly stand-up show, "Let's Not Die," with comedians like John Mulaney and Nikki Glaser. I'm also the host of comedy podcast, "Do You Even Care?" executive produced by Adam McKay; Outside TV's "2 Can Play That Game," and previously hosted Spotify Original podcast "Identity at Play;" and a branded show for Hyundai. 

I'm currently serving as the comedian-in-residence at Generation180 where I helped create the Climate Comedy Cohort and Climate Cultura. I'm a Grist50 Fixer, an Anthem Award winner, and 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 co-wrote the book and lyrics for "Teacher of the Year," a comedy musical, which was a 2024 finalist for the O'Neil; and a movie, Thena. 

Before all of that, I lived a few lives; teacher, motivational youth speaker, president of an eco-community, and startup COO. 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!
