John Evans loves checking out thrift stores in all the cities he visits, a trait which ordinarily wouldn?t be worth including in a comic?s bio like this, any more than citing one?s preference for long walks on the beach.

He?s a similar connoisseur of comedy, and as such, is acutely discerning about what ideas and language will make for smart, fully original stand-up material, and what will merely constitute the old, the generic, the uninspired--stuff he avoids as resolutely as he?d avoid buying a hideous old shirt dotted with suspicious stains
