Entertainers
Michael Palascak
 |
Michael Palascak (Pal-a-sack) really likes to make people laugh--mostly because it keeps them from asking why he still lives at home with his parents. This young comedian from the Midwest grew up in Wabash, Indiana-"The First Electrically Lighted City in the World." Most recently Michael performed at The Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal. He also performed at Caesar's Palace in The Comedy Festival in Las Vegas and was the winner of HBO's Lucky 21 Stand-up Contest. He won the Chicago region of Comedy Central's Open Mic Fight, and performed on the network's Live at Gotham Series. Michael has been heard on Q101's The Ryan and Kevin Manno Program and on The Bob and Tom Radio Show. Michael has been seen on WGN-The Bozo Show, Age 9, Large Boot Relay Team Blue (Runner-up). |
Brendan Fitzgibbons
 |
Seeing Brendan Fitzgibbons perform stand up comedy can be deceiving. At first glance, his charming persona appears light-hearted and benign but underneath Brendan's welcoming smile, is a bold determination to speak his mind on real issues. Combining his passionate energy with a strong stage presence, Brendan challenges common misconceptions on topics ranging from relationships to social injustices. Brendan is a contributing writer for The Onion, as well as a regular host at The Living Room Comedy Hour in Brooklyn, NY. |
DAN POLYDORIS
 |
Dan Polydoris first came into the Chicago comedy scene in 2006. Since then, he has made a name for himself throughout the city. Dan can be seen at various shows in Chicago, as well as clubs around the Midwest. A graduate from the Second City improv program, Dan now puts all of his efforts into stand-up comedy. Occasionally, you'll see Dan add a little bit of music into his act as well (piano, guitar, ukulele, or whatever is in reach). His casual stage presence and quick wit have made him one of the city's favorite comedians. |
JOE FERNANDEZ
 |
Joe Fernandez has been doing stand-up in the city of Chicago for
almost a year now and for over three years total going back to his days
in Milwaukee. He just got through with his one man comedy show A
College Degree and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt at Gorilla Tango
Theater, and before that was seen in the play Heat Wave at Pegasus
Players. He just recently finished a week in New York where he
performed at Comix, Comics Strip Live, and Eastville Comedy Club where
he opened for Patrice O'Neal.
