About me: Michele Balan was one of the four finalists on NBC's Last Comic Standing and she is The Last Women Comic Standing!
Voted one of the Top 10 Comics by Backstage Magazine in 2004, Michele Balan is a brash, New York Stand-up comedian who has performed on Comedy Central as well as in top comedy clubs, theatres, festivals and on cruises all over the country.
Often told she was naturally funny, the Brooklyn native left a high-paying executive position at a computer company to pursue comedy even though comedy has never proved as lucrative and she has been performing ever since.
She got her start as a Female, female-mpersonator doing lip sync impressions of Bette Midler. Now people tell her she is like a Female George Burns with many one-liners. Michele's career hast taken her from The Improv in Los Angeles to Carolines on Broadway in New York City, and from the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival to the ;Dinah Shore Women's Weekend in Palm Springs, CA!
Michele has shared the stage with Kathy Najimy, Jennifer Holiday, Taylor Dayne, Harvey Fierstein, Bruce Vilanch and Nell Carter. In 1999 she recorded a CD at The Improv in Los Angeles which features Nell Carter singing a song parody that Michele wrote.
Michele recently recorded the critically acclaimed DVD entitled LIVE, Just Barely recorded at the famed Joe's Pub, at the Public Theater in NYC.
Michele has also appeared on Comedy Central, Byron Allen's Comics Unleashed.

Thanks for the add. I've enjoyed the videos of your work. I love the reference to age. I do a lot of that too, lol. But of course, it isn't funny when I do it, lol.
OH WOW. I would kill to meet you. That would be so amazing. I will check out your site to see when you will be closest to me. I live 45 minutes from DC and I am in Baltimore so anywhere near them would be great for shows. I am glad that you are doing well sweetheart. You are so nice! =)
I always laugh when I think about your show from Wisecrack on Logo...I can't remember exactly what you said but it was something like if your boss gives you a hard time or someone on the street, just tell them to "suck my dic*" and they will leave you alone LOL. Too funny!

Hey Michele. How is my favorite comedian EVER doing? =) I miss seeing your shows on TV. One day I hope to see you live. I would love that so much. I tell people to check you out all the time. I have a gay brother as well (I know two gay children-how cute lol) and he thinks you are so funny as well. I hope that you are having a wonderful year so far. You truly deserve it. Keep working hard and amazing things will come your way. Thank you for making me laugh during some rough times of my life. It helped. Best wishes. xoxo
