Press & peers
“Smart, weird, and genuinely unpredictable. Caleb Zeringue is doing something fresh and it shows.”
“Comedy doesn’t mean lighthearted. Comedy is often used to explore the hardest things in life.”
“Why should Saturday Night Live and South Park get all the ability to process these current events? Why can’t live theater musicals do that as well?”
“Just because something’s funny, doesn’t mean it’s not serious.”

About me
Stand-up comic, writer, actor, producer, and “big personality” best known as the co-creator of the viral sensation Luigi: The Musical (New York Times, NPR, Washington Post). NYC Queer Comedy Festival finalist. Edinburgh Fringe. Featured for national headliners like Jenny Zigrino and Lady Bushra. Performed at Gotham, The Stand, Hollywood Improv, Cobb’s, and The Elysian. Grew up across 16 states. Comedy is unapologetically queer with a suspicious amount of emotional vulnerability and “bless your heart” southern energy.
About my work
Caleb builds comedy that travels. Luigi: The Musical sold out 13 shows and is in development for off-Broadway. He co-wrote The Drill Master with Jenny Zigrino, staged right before Netflix Is a Joke with Bobcat Goldthwait, Gianmarco Soresi, Cameron Esposito, and more. He creates things that break through.
