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, The Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Conan, has a Comedy Central Half Hour special that is currently streaming on Paramount +, 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 an authentic way which sets up the huge laughs he gets from his sharp, personal material. Consistently writing and performing, Michael released both a new album— The Internet Live through 800 Pound Gorilla and a new stand-up special on the Dry Bar app— 1984.
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 continued in the new National Lampoon series — The Bright Side where he took a positive stance on a negative topic streaming on YouTube.
Michael currently resides in Los Angeles and is a dad. Every Monday night he records a podcast after his child goes to sleep. It is called I Just Got My Kid To Sleep.
