Stand-Up & Laugh with Michael Gelbart

Law of Happy with Lauren Tatner

Today’s special guest is comedian/writer, Michael Gelbart. Michael has appeared on The Late Late Show on CBS, Comics Unleashed and Comedy.tv. He’s had two prime-time specials on CTV and CBC, which have both aired on Comedy Central.
Michael was a writer and later head writer of the Canadian Screen Awards (formerly the Geminis), wrote dozens of sitcom episodes and animated series that have aired on Disney, Nickelodeon, Teen Nick, Starz Kids, and Cartoon Network. He wrote and co-starred in the holiday movie "A Very Cool Christmas" which airs annually on Lifetime.
Michael performs all over North America, dividing his time between the US and Canada. Michael’s new one hour special, “Michael Gelbart: All New Smash Hits” is now streaming globally on Amazon Prime.
I was extra excited to have this chat with Michael because Michael is one of my all-time favorite comedians. It was surreal and such a thrill to hear how he got into stand-up, his advice to those interested in getting into comedy, and his amazing memories working with fellow comedian Norm Macdonald. I also loved hearing Michael’s take on how we create our own reality, the power of laughter, and finding the fun in the journey.
And I had so much fun doing an impromptu laughter exercise with Michael. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to keep a straight face in traffic again.
