One Night Only, Michael Palascak performs live at Comedy Bar

Note: Tonight’s show will be a clean comedy event

Sunday March 29 at 7pm
https://comedybar.ca/show.php?Event_ID=14046
$22.50 ($20 + HST)

Michael Palascak makes his Comedy Bar debut, and has performed on A Little Late with Lilly Singh, The Late Late Show with James Corden, The Tonight Show, Letterman, Craig Ferguson, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, 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.”

The Chicago Reader supports this view– “His charisma doesn’t hurt; neither does his affability. 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 upcoming special, Unsupervised Fun, will be available on Dry Bar this March.
