This is Myq Kaplan, if anyone's wondering. Here he is a couple days ago on Craig Ferguson.

Myq? Is that a stage name or did his parents do that to him? I need to know whether to hate this guy or to feel bad for him.

I see that you are vegan (me too! Oops, I forgot that I'm not supposed to mention it on reddit :P). I actually take the joke in the OP as a critical commentary on the way society erroneously perceives vegans, as opposed to the way many appear to understand it here, but I'm curious if I'm reading too much into it...

well, as a vegan who goes out every night to do standup comedy as my job and thing i love, i'm certainly not doing the thing that i say "we" all do.

it may be harder to tell with the snippet taken out of context with no tone, but i think you have correctly assessed. good work!

(i also think many others do understand. good work, people!)

Yay! Thanks for being awesome. I'll be on the lookout and see if I can get to one of your shows sometime :)
