WHAT: Open
Primaries President John Opdycke will sit down with comedian, author

entertainer in the age of political fragmentation and whether it’s
possible to bridge the divides in comedy right now and find meaningful
commonalities.

Political Orphanage” comedy and news podcast. He’s a frequent Reason

performed standup comedy at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, as a
finalist in the China International Standup Competition, and
throughout the United States and Europe. A former congressional

Communism,” as well as two funny novels.

WHY: 50% of
Americans who are opting out of the two major parties. As the divide
deepens and more Americans leave the parties, we want to explore if
there is actually an opening for political comedy that unites people
instead of reinforcing division.
See you Thursday,
The Open Primaries Team
