The Story

About Caleb Zeringue — comic, writer, producer

Caleb is a stand-up comedian, writer and producer best known for Luigi the Musical, a viral musical comedy covered in over 6 major international news outlets including CNN, The New York Times, and The Independent UK. He's a NYC Queer Comedy Festival finalist, mentioned in New York Magazine, and is worried that he's used too many credits now but also hopes that you maybe, please, like him. He's probably overthinking this as you read it right now.

A southern accent, a tech-literate punchline.

Caleb Zeringue is a stand-up comic, writer, and original executive producer of Luigi the Musical — a dark comedy that sold 3,000+ tickets across 13 sold-out shows with international press coverage including The New York Times, The Hollywood Reporter, NPR's All Things Considered, and a mention from Stephen Colbert.

As a stand-up, he's a NYC Queer Comedy Festival finalist, featured at Vice City Comedy Festival and LGBTLolFest, and has opened for national headliners including Jenny Zigrino and Lady Bushra, who STILL won't talk to him. He's performed at Cobb's, The Stand, Hollywood Improv, Gotham, and Edinburgh Fringe.

He grew up across 16 states. His comedy is mischievous, raw and free of vaccines (if that's what you want).

He and Jenny Zigrino (Dropout.TV, Sirius XM) are part of the writing team behind The Drill Master, which had a sold-out staged reading at The Elysian and is now moving towards development.
