2Kendra Jean interviews comedians Sam Tallent and Andrew Polk and Evan Johnson
Sam Tallent Bio
Known for whip-quick wit and rollicking improvisations, Sam Tallent is one of the sharpest, most original rising talents in comedy today. He has been called "the absurd voice of a surreal generation" by the Denver Post, and, when not maintaining a "Black Flag esque tour schedule" (Savage Henry Magazine), Sam has worked alongside many of the biggest names in comedy, including Louis CK, Dave Chappelle, Doug Stanhope, Dana Carvey, Hannibal Buress and TJ Miller. Sam has performed at the Oddball Comedy Festival, High Plains Comedy Festival, Hell Yes Fest, the Chicago Comedy Expo and the NY Film and Television Festival. Sam regularly headlines his hometown club, the legendary Denver Comedy Works. He recently won his battle on Comedy Central's Roast Battle, and was seen on VICELAND's Flophouse as well as the Chris Gethard Show. His writing has been published on VICE.com. He lives in Las Vegas with his wife and his dog.
Andrew Polk Bio
Andrew has the three qualities you want in an opening act: 1) he’s funny. 2) he’s not annoying. 3) he has a car.” - Todd Barry, in “Thank You For Coming to Hattiesburg”
Hi there. I’m Andrew Polk, a stand-up comedian from New Orleans, currently living in Los Angeles. I’ve toured with Todd Barry, and Sean Patton, gotten hand-picked by Louis C.K. to host a set of shows for him in New Orleans, opened for Hannibal Buress at a few sold out theaters, and for Dave Attell as he recorded his Road Work special for Comedy Central (you can hear me announce him on it!).
I’ve been interviewed for The Guardian and Savage Henry Magazine, and I’ve had tweets featured on Gawker, and Paste. Tweets! Do people listen to podcasts? Sure they do. Well, I’ve been on The Nerdist Network’s Competitive Erotic Fan Fiction, and Terrified! with Dave Ross. Neat!
TV is cool too! I managed to squeeze a line in on Esquire Network’s Best Bars in America, showing now on Delta flights pretty regularly, I think. I normally fly Spirit. I also got cool spots on Hidden America with Jonah Ray, and in Yes, And, a pilot starring Sean Patton and Brooks Wheelan. Oh! My televised stand-up debut was in April 2016 for Viceland’s show Flophouse, directed by Lance Bangs.
In 2017, I successfully co-wrote a television pilot, The Business, with Chicago comedian Dave Losso, I performed on the sold out 50 First Jokes at the Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles alongside Adam Conover, Beth Stelling, Kyle Kinane, and more, I recently wrapped up a 2 week tour of the south with Grant Gordan, and I got a shout-out from Todd Barry in his new book “Thank You For Coming to Hattiesburg”.
I don’t know how to sum up my comedy. I like to have fun, I like to get cheesed off, and I like to be good. I guess that’s about it.
