Listen Later

We talked to character and sketch performer, Sydney Duncan! Jason talks to Sydney about her unique journey from being a professional ballet dancer to becoming a comedian in the improv and sketch comedy scenes. Sydney shares her struggles and triumphs, discussing her transition into comedy, her experiences in the New York improv scene, and her notable impersonations like Kamala Harris. She also delves into her time on Wild 'N Out, the audition process for the show, and the importance of preparation. The thrilling talk covers lessons she's learned, the value of asking for help, the impact of living a well-rounded life outside of one's art, and maintaining joy in the pursuit of a comedy career. This conversation is an inspiring look at dedication, growth, and finding your place in the performing arts.
