Comedy Night at the CVPA
Starring Michael Palascak
January 16, 2026 * 7:30 PM
Michael Palascak is a comedian who grew up in Wabash, Indiana -- The First Electrically Lighted City in the World.
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,]and Conan.
Palascak 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.”
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.”
More of Michael’s stand-up was recently released as a special on YouTube called He's Friendly.
