Listen Later

Episode 5 of The Pat McGann Show brings in Chicago comedian Calvin Evans — a new dad balancing diapers, stand-up, and late-night shows at Zanies.

Pat and Calvin dig into the realities of fatherhood, how comedy shifts after 40, and what it takes to keep material fresh. They trade stories about auditions that don’t go as planned, moving to LA and back, and why the 11:15 crowd might be the best in the city.

Expect a mix of stand-up journeys, dad talk, and late-night comedy war stories — all with the usual Chicago edge.

Together, they cover:
 👶 Fatherhood, diapers & being a new dad at 40
 🎤 Building an act, bad auditions & chasing stage time
 🌆 Moving to LA, coming back to Chicago & owning the scene
 🎹 Hidden talents, late-night Zanies shows & finding balance

🎧 New episodes every week — filmed in Chicago with comics, locals, and special guests.
