YOU KNOW WHAT I HATE ABOUT STAND-UP COMEDY... THERE'S TOO MUCH STANDING!
Michele Balan was one of the four finalists on NBC's Last Comic Standing and she was the Last Women Comic Standing! Since then, she has been on Comics Unleashed and was invited to perform on Jay Leno's Tonight show (unfortunately, she wasn't available for the 3 offers!). Voted one of the Top 10 Comics by Backstage Magazine in 2004, Michele is a brash, New York Stand-up comedian who is very busy traveling the world headlining in comedy clubs, theaters, cruises, corporate events and recently worked with the Smothers Brothers in their 50th anniversary tour!

Gotham's Funny Gals
By CINDY ADAMS
So this Judy Twersky p.r.
lady says I must go down to the Gotham Comedy Club, 23rd between Seventh and
Eighth. I say, Why'd I want to do that?" She says: Because Marion
Grodin's doing stand-up tonight." I
say, "What's a Marion Grodin?" She says: "Charles
Grodin's daughter." I went to the
Gotham Comedy Club, 23rd between Seventh and Eighth.
Kyra Sedgwick, Kevin Bacon, bandleader Paul Shaffer's wife were there.
Marion's a pro. Excellent. So good she doesn't need that
shock value. Big laughs with stuff like:
* "My ex husband called me 'Mare.' When we shut the
lights he'd say, 'Night Mare.' "
* Friends ask would I date out of my religion? Please. I'm
dating out of my species.
Also blond, also working alone is dynamite Michele Balan, who closes the show. Stuff like:
* Am I desperate to be on TV? I'd go on cocaine just to get
an intervention.
* The car I rented in Miami Beach
came with a Jewish GPS. It asked me, "Didja eat?"
* I got a low-rate in my cabin cruise. So low that when I
got into bed I was snorkeling .
