No. 387 - Exploring Improv with Evan Forde Barden

We were joined by comedian Evan Forde Barden for a great talk on pursuing comedy. Evan joins the podcast to discuss his extensive 21-year journey in improv and sketch comedy. Evan shares his early days doing improv at Fairfield University and his subsequent experiences with renowned groups like 'Bodywork' and 'Young Douglass.' He opens up about navigating the improv scene in New York, his tenure with Improv Boston, Magnet Theater, and UCB, and how he tries to survive on stage. Evan also talks about his show, 'The Power Joker,' a comedy talk show hosted by a fictional Robert Moses (played by previous guest, Sam Rogal), the evolution of his comedic voice, and more!
