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. 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 write, do standup, and am the comedian-in-residence at Generation180 where I helped create the Climate Comedy Cohort and Climate Cultura. I've hosted shows like the Spotify Original podcast, Identity at Play, and a few webseries for SoulPancake and Hyundai. 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.

Or you can hire me to do standup, speak, or write.
