WISE GUY
MITCH FATEL Yonkers, New York native Fatel got into the standup game early on. At 15, he was already braving the crowds, cutting his teeth at open mic nights and opening for headlining comics. His comedic corruption only deepened during his time as an intern on The Howard Stern Show and he soon became a veteran of the late-night trifecta, with regular appearances on Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O’Brien and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, where fans remember him as the show’s humorous correspondent. Whether it’s dating or politics, Fatel’s droll delivery and dark sense of humor are proven factors in winning laughs. 7:30 p.m. Thursday, May 25; 7:30 & 9:45 p.m. Friday, May 26 & Saturday, May 27; 6:30 p.m. Sunday, May 28, The Comedy Zone, Mandarin, $18-$22, comedyzone.com. 10 • FOLIOWEEKLY.com • May 24-30, 2017
