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. I'm a member of the SAG-AFTRA union. 

Reach out below and say hey!
