Thanks to Activities and Campus Events (ACE), University students were able to laugh and enjoy themselves at comedian Michael Palascak’s stand-up comedy performance.

Palascak performed his comedy routine for a room full of approximately 200 students. Throughout his performance, Palascak recounted hilarious tales and life events. He based most of his routine on his family and friends, life after college, and dating. Palascak also joked about everyday events such as the peculiarity of parking tickets in Chicago, where it is sometimes cheaper to get ticketed for parking on the sidewalk.

“I didn’t even know that [parking on the sidewalk] was an option, let alone a discount,” Palascak said.

Palascak has appeared on “The Late Show” with David Letterman, “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno, and “The Late Late Show” with Craig Ferguson. Palascak recently released his debut comedy album, “Job Opening,” which is available on iTunes. His performance also included parts from this album.

“The event was great and it seemed like there was a pretty good turnout! Michael Palascak was really funny,” Lexi Klein ’15 said.
