WICF Loves Myq Kaplan UPDATED: So Does 'The New York Times'

By Editor Liz McKeon 

I once accidentally insulted Myq Kaplan while he was working the door at a show above the Hong Kong in Harvard Square. This was a major moment in my life. I'm fairly certain it didn't even register as a blip on his radar.

Myq Kaplan is awesome.

He also performed on Conan last month, so I can safely assume that A. Conan O'Brien thinks Myq Kaplan is awesome, too, and B. I'm in pretty good company.

Make sure you're in Cambridge for WICF 2012 when Myq Kaplan and Micah Sherman host the stand-up comedy showcase on March 24, at 7 PM in the ImprovBoston mainstage theater. Co-Producer Michelle Barbera, Selena Coppock, Leah Dubie, Gaby Dunn, Chris Flmeing, Meghan Hanley and The Lucas Bros perform.

UPDATE:
Since we published this post, The New York Times has one-upped us and published "A Stand-Up Joke Is Born," chronicling Myq's comedic creative process (with a bonus mention of WICF stalwart Josh Gondelman). We know when we're beat, so we're happily directing you to the Times article. Congratulations, Myq!
