Side Splitters Comedy Club Welcomes Michael Palascak 1/27-30

After moving around during his early years, Michael Palascak (Pal-a-sack) Midwest ended up in Wabash, Indiana--"The First Electrically Lighted City in the World." He spent his formative years there, and then, after college, moved to Chicago pursue a career in comedy and living at home with his parents.

This past summer Michael debuted on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and performed at The TBS LOL Lounge in the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Chicago. He also has 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 also won the Chicago region of Comedy Central's Open Mic Fight and went on to make his Comedy Central debut on Live at Gotham Season 3.

Desiring to perform all forms of comedy, Michael took sketch and improv classes at The Second City in Chicago, IO, and Annoyance. In Chicago, Michael debuted his one-person sketch show--Pursuing Happiness: A bunch of scenes about people that moved out of their parents' house, got a real job, and got married. Performed by a guy who didn't.

Michael connects to the youthful innocence in everyone as he relates his stories onstage. From growing up in a small town to buying his first car Michael's stories allow everyone to laugh a lot. Audience members quotes: "Really good job," "...funnier than Cosby or Seinfeld...," and, "You're just like my son."

Michael made his television debut on WGN-The Bozo Show, Age 9, Large Boot Relay Team Blue (Runner-up). s.

Appearing Next Weekend
CLEDUS T. JUDD February 3 - 5

I am a funnyman or so I've been told," is the opening line of Cledus T. Judd's brand new studio album, which is the 10th of his career. The opening line is certainly dead on, and it's also the entrance to Cledus' first Country music project since his recent and very successful stint as a morning air personality in major market radio. In the liner notes on the new project, Cledus proclaims "thanks for firing me, otherwise I would have not been able to sing with Kix and Ronnie!" He's alluding to a song on the new album, "Garth Must Be Busy," which is a great duet with Brooks and Dunn.

What Cledus is referring to with the radio line, is his departure from Clear Channel's Atlanta Country station WUBL (The Bull). Cledus manned the morning show there for almost a year to the day, leaving in November 2008. He took the Atlanta gig to be closer to his family, especially his mom, who has been ailing the last few years. Prior to the Atlanta move Cledus had a very successful run in Tampa, Florida on one of America's premier radio stations, WQYK, which is owned by CBS. The show, Cledus T. Party, had big ratings and notoriety, and not surprisingly the station wanted to solidify that Cledus would stick around, offering him a very lucrative contract.
