Michael Palascak Wins Lucky 21 Contest
Chicago's Michael Palascak won the Lucky 21 Contest, sponsored by the Las Vegas Comedy Festival. All that heavy campaigning paid off, apparently, and now he's the proud winner of $10,000 cash (you read that right), a tv spot, and a meeting with tv execs.
This is the same Michael Palascak who was a finalist in the "Funniest Person in Chicago" contest, and won the Chicago round of Comedy Central's Open Mic Fight, because he's willing to put in the legwork, from behind the keyboard and on stage, to coax his 456,592 friends and family to vote for him. Now that's hustle. Nice work, Michael. We assume the next round is on you?

Congrats, Palascak!
Wonder if he's gonna move out of his parents' basement.

Does he tour around? Or does he stay in Chicago?

I see him in Chicago all the time, he's a relative newcomer from the improv scene like myself. I'm sure touring will be in his future one day!
