Milo Loza is a compelling force in the Portland comedy scene, both in front of and behind the camera. A true student of the craft, Milo has recorded over 150 episodes of his podcast, Ear Ape (also known as Folkn’t Shift It Talk Sucker), where he dives deep into the world of stand-up through interviews with local and national comedians.

When he isn’t on the mic, Milo is likely documenting the very scene he performs in. He serves as a videographer for the PDX Comedy Documentary and the Stand Up Comedy Showcase Showdown, ensuring the city’s best punchlines are preserved for posterity.

Between his technical expertise and undeniable love for chicken nuggets, Milo has become a vital—and well-fed—staple of the creative community.
