Sandwiches & Cats

Michael first came to recognition as a cast member, writer, producer, and director of MTV's half hour sketch comedy show, The State (1993-1995). Michael later went on to co-write and star in the cult classic film Wet Hot American Summer (2001), write, direct, and star in The Baxter (2005), as well as write, produce, and star in Comedy Central's Stella (2005). The album contains a mix of standup, sketch and improv material that was compiled from tracks recorded in the studio, four of Michael's shows taped over two nights in July at Union Hall in Brooklyn, and a performance taped in Chicago at the Lakeshore Theatre - also in July. Featured guests on the album include Janeane Garofalo, Eugene Mirman, and Zak Orth.
