Shutter On The Street

One of the most unique acts at the Inner Harbor features Brian Rudo. His act features a number of odd props including a bull whip, a flaming jump rope, a 24 inch balance ball, and not one, but two straight jackets. He describes his act as an adrenaline comedy show. Brian enjoys the unpredictability that a show with a large number of audience volunteers offers. He has to be tuned in to the audience and read their reactions to deliver the best show possible.

Evan Young has painstakingly developed his act over the last 6 years. In his early years on the west coast, Evan received a lot of criticism from seasoned street performers while developing his act. Rather than being deterred, he continued evolving his act and is now one of the regular performers in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor.  Every part of Evan’s show is carefully analyzed for impact and effectiveness as he constantly evolves as a performer. Evan puts a lot of effort into his show to deliver the best possible experience to the audience.  He approaches street performing very scientifically but his passion for it is obvious in his performances.

Evan’s patriotism and philanthropic side was clearly evident at this year’s Memorial Day.  Evan organized a charity fund raiser event for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, a fund that supports troops that have made sacrifices for our nation.  Evan, along with Jonathan Burns and Jason Moffet, performed for most of the day on Memorial Day, in considerable heat, and donated all of the tips they received to the fund.

The stunning quality of Evan’s act is dwarfed by that of his character.
