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. Other credits include:
- A Little Late with Lilly Singh
- Letterman
- The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
- The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson
- Conan
- A Comedy Central Half Hour special
- Top 5 Finalist on Last Comic Standing — 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.

He 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.
