Mamas, you’ve survived the back-to-school rush. It’s time to reward yourselves. September can be a crazy busy month, and you deserve a night off to laugh. (Bonus: This is considered “clean comedy,” so you won’t need to worry about inappropriate language, topics, etc.)
To kick off the new season of Center Stage Comedy performances at The Jones Center in Springdale, we’re giving away two tickets to see stand-up comedian Michael Palascak at 7pm on September 25, 2026. Scroll down to put your name in the online drawing to win these tickets, which would be a fun date night or a Moms’ Night Out event.

ABOUT THE SHOW:
Last year Michael Palascak appeared on Nateland Presents: The Showcase on YouTube. Michael also released his self-produced special He’s Friendly which has garnered over 215, 000 views on YouTube and has multiple tracks streaming on Sirius XM’s comedy channels like Pure Comedy. You can also find him on Paramount + where his debut half hour is streaming on Season 1, Episode 2 of Comedy Central’s The Half Hour and on CBS on an upcoming episode of Comics Unleashed. Michael grew up in a small town in Indiana and began doing stand-up in Chicago after his parents moved the family to the suburbs during his formative years.
As a clean comedian, he has racked up multiple late night credits with appearances on The Tonight Show, The Late Show, The Late Late Show, and Conan. Additionally, he was a Top 5 Finalist on the last season of Last Comic Standing after eliminating Taylor Tomlinson in a head-to-head stand-up competition. Michael currently resides in California and is a dad. Every Monday night he records a podcast after his kid goes to sleep. It is called I Just Got My Kid To Sleep.
Here’s a sneak peek video of Michael on stage:
