Michael Che Is Working on an Hour Special

Even though he’s only been performing since 2010, Michael Che has quickly become one of the country’s most acclaimed up-and-coming stand-ups and now, he’s working on his first hour-long stand-up set. Che told W magazine about his plans for an hour special, explaining, “This has been a crazy, exciting year, and I am hoping that what comes out of it is really quality material. I am working on an hour-long performance right now, and I want it to be something really special that people will love.â€

In the past year alone, Che made his Letterman debut, was ranked as one of Rolling Stone’s “50 Funniest People†and Time Out’s “Comics to Watch,â€Â got hired as a guest writer on SNL and  a correspondent on Best Week Ever, and most importantly, ranked first amongst in a poll we conducted here at Splitsider in which NYC’s top stand-up bookers picked their favorite comedians. Michael Che’s special is definitely something to look forward to for comedy fans - whenever and wherever it comes out.
