Bio
Caleb Zeringue (like meringue with a Z) is a stand-up comedian, actor, playwright, and Sniffies user. His individual work has been featured in The New York Times and Vulture. He brings sassy energy, dangerous punchlines he gets away with, and Southern charm to get out of any mess, just like his pawpaw.
His theatrical and acting work has been featured in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, CNN, NPR, Out Magazine, and more.
He regularly features for Jenny Zigrino and Lady Bushra and has featured for Joanne McNally for a four-show weekend at Cobb’s. He’s an NYC Queer Comedy Festival finalist, an Out of Bounds Comedy Festival selection, and an LGBTLOL Fest featured returning comic. You can probably guess he’s “verse” (sure, girl).
He often struggles to decide which pop girlie is his favorite and is frequently trying to migrate his karaoke playlist from Spotify to Apple Music and vice versa.
