About Zack.
Zack Binder (he/him) is a non-binary, trans masculine ventriloquist comedian and actor. Originally from Toronto, Zack began his performance career in Canada as Drag King ZacKey Lime. There, he produced House of Kings, a popular bi-monthly drag show highlighting drag kings in Toronto.
Zack retired from drag during the pandemic due to burn out and because his gender transition had come so far, he no longer felt the need to don drag. It was then that he began pursuing another love: Acting. In 2021, he worked as Elliot Page's stand in on Season 3 of The Umbrella Academy. When the season wrapped, Zack packed his bags and drove to LA. (Little did he know that two years later, he would find himself playing a recurring role in Season 4).
A closet ventriloquist for over a decade, Zack finally found the gumption to share his puppets with the world. In July 2023, Zack performed in his first comedy show...and the rest is history. In his first year he performed in over 80 comedy shows around Los Angeles, including comedy clubs like The Crow and The Hollywood Improv. His comedy has garnered over 10 million views online and got him accepted into Big Pine Comedy Festival in 2024.
Zack recently debuted his "one man" show Once Upon a Breadcrumb to a sold-out audience at the Lyric Hyperion, where he co-stars alongside his puppets Ticklemuff and Jill. He is running the show again on December 7th, 2024 at The Elysian Theatre. He hopes to take the show to Edinburgh Fringe in 2025.
He also runs 69% Queer, a Comedy Show & Social Mixer event in Los Angeles.
