Karl Spaeth is a comedian from Cincinnati, Ohio. He has performed his dark and silly brand of absurdist comedy all over the country in comedy clubs, bars, houses, and—for some reason—two anime conventions. In 2013, he founded MOTRmouth at MOTR Pub, which would become the longest-running comedy showcase in Cincinnati—maybe even Ohio. He is a founding member of the sketch comedy group Future Science who will be releasing a book in 2025. Karl is currently working on completing a comedy film that is a hybrid of sketch comedy and standup—This Might Be Hell—that he is co-directing with Matthew Hontanosas. The comedy film will be accompanied by a zine of comics and prose comedy and a standup album released on cassette because physical media will never die.
