    Heggie is an incredible comedian and one of my all-time favourites. He has sold-out shows, appeared on shows like the MICF Gala, Question Everything, and Just For Laughs.

    Episode 106 - How's It Going in the USA (with Myq Kaplan)
    Nov 11 2024

    I'm joined this week by the brilliant Myq Kaplan all the way from NYC. Myq is an incredible comedian with decades of experience and a remarkable CV, with appearances on Conan, Letterman, Seth Meyers, and more. With the US Election taking up all the news, I wanted to hear how it was all going from a comedian's point of view.


    We chat about life as an American comedian, how Myq approaches joke writing, building a career, and how Myq plans to manage another Trump presidency.

    Find links to Myq's work including his albums, specials, and books here.
