Dance monkey: Mitch Fatel

A visiting comic in the hot seat

By SARA FAITH ALTERMAN | September 25, 2007

You won the Aspen Comedy Festival in 2006, but this year’s winner was Bostonian Shane Mauss. Aren’t you nervous, being on his turf?
Nope. The 2006 competition is known industry-wide as the last one that had talent.

You got your start as an intern for Howard Stern. Tell me a secret about Howard.
He’s great in the sack.

Describe your ideal reality TV show.
Me matching up girls’ bras and panties.

Does your bra match your panties?
No but my bustier matches my thigh-high stockings.

In your material, you talk a lot about boobs and mini-skirts and “easy girls.” Doesn’t all of that hyper-machismo imply latent homosexuality?
I have no comment. Please refer all further questions to my lawyer.

INTERVIEW: ANDY RICHTER | November 25, 2009
We have a chub for Andy Barker, P.I. (just released out on DVD), because we have a major chub for the show’s star, Andy Richter. Richter plays an accountant who is mistaken for a detective-for-hire and decides to just roll with it.

REVIEW: SPREAD | August 19, 2009
If only there were some way to watch a con-artist houseboy give his cougar sugar mama a squirming reach-around, charm the pants off a candy-necklace string of countless empty-eyed Hollywood stick figures, lose his heart to an untouchable social chameleon, and, in the process, find himself .

NORTHERN EXPOSURE | July 29, 2009
While New York is grittier, Los Angeles juicier, and Boston is wicked smahter, for some odd reason it is Montreal that, for two weeks every summer, becomes the epicenter of the comedy universe.
