Clear Water Comedy Presents: Zak Toscani Live

Zak Toscani is a standup comedian and writer currently living on the West Coast. He got his start in Portland’s indie comedy scene, but since then, his work has taken him across the country and around the world.

His performances are known for their originality, vulnerability, and specificity—qualities that have earned him recognition from outlets like TIME, The AV Club, The Portland Mercury, and Vulture.

Zak has performed at major comedy festivals including Bumbershoot Music & Arts Festival, The Bridgetown Comedy Festival, and The High Plains Comedy Festival. He's also the most recurring guest on the hit podcast All Fantasy Everything, where his blend of dry wit and honesty has made him a fan favorite.

In addition to his standup work, Zak has written for Comedy Central and contributed to platforms like the Washington Post, BBC, Newsweek, Buzzfeed, and Vice. He’s also been featured in a Vulture article for his one-of-a-kind approach to touring, performing at private house shows across the country—a format that allows for an intimate connection with audiences few comedians attempt.

Whether on stage, on the page, or on a podcast, Zak Toscani brings a unique voice and point of view to everything he does.
