Filmed inside the Grand Comedy Club in Escondido, CA, comedian Zoltan Kaszas delivers another crowd-pleasing comedy special entitled White Lies. Following his Modern Male special in 2021, Zoltan picks up where the last hour ended, so we’ve got pandemic lockdown stories, the joys of Zoom comedy, starting therapy, and thoughts of fatherhood.
Born on a smoggy moonless night in communist Budapest, Hungary to a loving mother, and a father who had already left. Four years later Zoltan and his mother moved to the United States Of America, landing in New York City on the night of July 4th 1991. He saw fireworks from the plane as they made their approach to JFK, asking his mother “what’s up with that?” to which she replied, “Americans love explosions, let’s act accordingly”.
Zoltan’s family settled in Pittsburgh, PA for the first five years of their American journey where he learned English from Mister Rogers and the ESL program at O’ Hare Elementary School which consisted of himself and a Japanese kid named Simon, a teacher who’s name wasn’t easy to remember and a classroom so small Zoltan claims sure it used to be a storage closet.
After getting tired of freezing winters and humid sweat-down-your-crack summers his mother decided to move to San Diego, CA where he quickly learned that sandals do go with jeans and that pick-up trucks can have tires as big as your imagination. San Diego (More specifically a trailer park in San Marcos- a suburb north of the city) became their official home.
After graduating San Marcos High School with 2.75 GPA (Hold your applause), Zoltan decided that was enough learnin’ for him and joined the American workforce and immediately hated it. A year after graduating high school, Kaszas went to an open mic at the age of 19 in hopes of becoming a professional stand-up comedian. Nine years and many different day jobs later, he became a full time professional stand-up comedian.
Zoltan’s career can best be described by the title of his non-existent autobiography “The long road to semi success?”
