We chatted with NYC improviser, performer, and co-founder of VoteDown, Matt Abedi. In this engaging conversation, Jason and Matt discuss the intricate relationship between politics and comedy. Matt shares his journey from a politically-inclined youth to a comedy lover, drawing inspiration from icons like Chris Rock, Robin Williams, and Jim Carrey. His debate background and experience working on the Obama campaign reveal how humor can be a powerful tool in political settings. The conversation delves into the problematic nature of current political structures and how Matt's initiative, Vote Down, aims to empower voters and hold politicians accountable.
