Today, we’re setting up Seth Rubin, a queer, trans, and nonbinary Los Angeles-based comedian and writer.
Seth’s writing has been published in The New Yorker, The Onion, Reductress, McSweeney’s, and more. They currently write full-time for Jackbox Games, and they were named one of Gold Comedy’s 22 Comedians to Watch in 2022.
With a PhD in geology up their sleeve, Seth’s on-the-spot TED talk would be about volcanoes. They’re a snob about ice cream and movies, and they don’t consider themselves a romantic. A perfect Saturday for Seth includes waking up late, brunch and the Saturday crossword, and going to the movies or a bookstore. Seth has twenty tattoos, but would love to add one of a sandwich.
Seth recently read and enjoyed Bunny by Mona Awad and Barbara Kingsolver’s Demon Copperhead. But which read will they choose next?
