Beth Lapides is a comedian, author, speaker, and creativity coach who makes work—and helps other people make theirs.

What connects all of it is how she thinks.

She is best known as the creator and host of UnCabaret , the groundbreaking show that helped define alternative comedy and continues to bring artists and audiences together in a uniquely alive, in-the-moment experience—creating rooms that are not just filled, but activated.

She creates original work that lives at the intersection of comedy, culture, and personal transformation—work that’s as interested in how we live as what we make.

Her work spans stage, page, and voice—blending comedy, storytelling, and personal transformation. Her solo show It’s A Lot explores change and meaning in real time; her audiobook So You Need To Decide was named one of Vulture’s Best Comedy Books of 2022; and her guided experience Pick Your Next Project helps people choose what to make next—and begin.

At the same time, she works closely with artists, writers, performers, and leaders—helping them shape ideas and move projects into the world.

Beth has a rare ability to listen deeply, see patterns quickly, and connect ideas across disciplines, experiences, and moments of change. She works at the intersection of intuition and structure, creativity and execution—helping people move from uncertainty into clarity, and from ideas into action.

She’s as comfortable talking about structure and strategy as she is about intuition, signs, and the unseen forces that shape a creative life.

In a time when everything is shifting—culturally, creatively, personally—the ability to choose what to make and how to move forward, is essential.

Beth’s work—her own and the work she supports—lives in that space.

For people drawn not just to Beth’s work, but to the way she thinks, this is where the conversation begins.
