Stand Up Comedy Night with Michael Palascak

Michael Palascak is a comedian who  grew up in Wabash, Indiana, began his career in Chicago and now resides  in LA.  He performed on both The Late Late Show with James Corden and  The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in the same year.  In addition, his  resume includes A Little Late with Lilly Singh, Letterman, The Tonight  Show with Jay Leno, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Conan, has a  Comedy Central Half Hour special, and was a Top 5 Finalist on Last  Comic Standing where one judge claimed, “My first impression of Michael  was a great likability.  This is a guy that could star in a sitcom.”    Michael’s  likability allows him to relate to his audiences in a real way which  sets up the huge laughs he gets from his sharp, personal material.   Consistently writing and performing, Michael recently released both a  new album— The Internet Live through 800 Pound Gorilla and a new  stand-up special on the Dry Bar app— 1984.  Available for free  streaming.    ​Drew Hunt of The Chicago Reader wrote about  Michael, “In a lot of ways, he represents the ideal antidote to the sort  of unbridled cynicism that pervades much of contemporary stand-up.”   Michael’s optimism continues in the new National Lampoon series — The  Bright Side  where he takes a positive stance on a negative topic streaming on YouTube.

Menard County native Boomer Galassi will open the evening. Ages 18+.
