Ari Glasgow messaged Evan on LinkedIn with questions about how to get into comedy. Evan replied by saying ‘Be my Facebook friend, come on my podcast, and I’ll answer your questions.’ So here we are: a fellow Tufts Jumbo like Evan, Ari is going into his senior year and starting to look at life after college and life in comedy. How does one get into comedy? How to promote yourself? Do you need a day job? Should you try to join SAG-AFTRA? All those questions and more will be answered, plus some Tufts University banter.

NOTE: Audio on Ari’s end is a little echoey, because Evan’s an idiot, but at least he does a majority of the talking on this one.
