Ken Evans brings his boy-next-door persona back to the Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase Friday and Saturday.

Evans has an observational style of comedy. His energy is electric and his act is visual. The Orlando Sentinel said Evans’ “biting wit is like viewing life through broken glass …”

A seasoned comedy veteran, Evans has performed alongside Joan Rivers, Brian Regan and Weird Al Yankovic.

Besides appearances on NBC’s “Ed,” Caroline’s Comedy Hour, Showtime, "Law & Order," and NBC's “Last Comic Standing,” he’s been a studio guest of the Bob and Tom Show and the Bob and Sheri national radio shows.

A cancer survivor, he’s the only comic to be chosen three times to perform at the prestigious annual “Laugh for the Cure” fundraiser, and was also the main speaker for 1,200 cancer survivors at the Henry Ford Theater in Detroit.

Ken Evans performs at 8 and 10:30 p.m. Friday and at 9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 6-7, at Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase, 314 E. Liberty St. Tickets are $10-$12. Details at www.aacomedy.com or 734-996-9080.
