Comics for the Night:
Host Michael Palmenderi's energetic physical performances are both immersive and hilarious as he takes you through his struggles with chronic pain, singing everything like he’s in a musical, and being hairy in an increasingly hairless world. Michael has a background in theatre and trained at the Second City Chicago where he graduated from the Conservatory Program. He’s worked in multiple theatrical productions and has provided spirit fingers throughout the entire Chicagoland area.
