His bit improvising about why cats are better than dogs has reached 68 million views, and now, with his WORLDWIDE(ish) tour, he returns to his homeland to make Hungarian audiences laugh on March 21 at the Katona József Theatre.

     Zoltan Kaszas was born in Hungary, then moved to the United States with his mother in 1991, first settling in Pittsburgh and later in the trailer parks of San Diego. Kaszas, whom The Atlantic called a “ breakout star,” has appeared on numerous SiriusXM comedy channels, Fox’s Laughs, Manscaped commercials, Netflix Is a Joke radio and festival, as well as successful Dry Bar comedy specials (“Cat Jokes” and “Average Intelligence”). He has headlined comedy clubs and theatres across the country. He won the Seattle International Comedy Competition, a contest that lasts an entire month in Washington state. He also spent a month at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

    However, it was his viral bit improvising about why cats are better than dogs that skyrocketed online: it reached more than 68 million views on Facebook. The video travelled the world, even being included by the British Guardian among “the ten funniest things I’ve ever seen on the internet.”

    Among Kaszas’s must-see stand-up shows available on YouTube are Modern Male, White Lies, Honorary Jones, and his latest, London Fog. He has a knack for turning everyday, relatable experiences into hilarious stories, a talent that has earned him not only critical acclaim but also the affection of a loyal fanbase. Whether on tour or online, Zoltan Kaszas always captivates audiences with unforgettable, timely, and clever humor.
