![]() ![]() Yeah! I remember that there was a crazy girl. Is there anything you remember about your performance here in Sacramento at The Punch Line last year? I’m working on a new bit that I’m premiering this week and I hope it makes it to Sacramento. For my own sanity, I need to go up on stage and have new fun stuff to do. People will say, “How come you don’t do bra and panties?” “How come you don’t do the muffin joke?” “How come you don’t do the magical joke?” Unlike a performer who’s singing a song, comedy has to stay very fresh. ![]() I always like to mix and match.īut no matter what, I’m always making people unhappy. An old joke will come out and fit itself into a new joke, and I’ll put it in there and it’s a little shout out to the old fans that know it and the new fans who have no idea what they’re getting. Mix of probably about 25 to 30 minutes of classic material and 30 to 35 minutes of new material mixed in”¦ It’s very pleasurable to watch fans come up, and be like, “Oh my God, we thought we knew that joke and you’ve got that new tag there.” It’s one of the beauties of comedy. My act has become really, really pleasant, and I’m so happy with it. So, if anyone in Sacramento wants to beat that, they’re more than welcome to. And actually I signed my first vagina in Ontario, Calif. What’s going to be different about this year’s Sacramento show besides the new material? Will you be signing boobies and kissing babies this year? You have new material that you’re working with this year? You have a show at the end of this month at The Punch Line. I’m a virgin.” I was shocked and I said, “Why would you want me to take your virginity? Why me?” she said, “Because I think with you it would be magical.” So later that night I wore a wizard’s cap. It’s based on a joke in my act, a true story about a girl at one of my shows that came up to me and said, “I want you to take my virginity. I’m curious about the title of your new DVD and the show that aired on Comedy Central on Sept. I’ve been in relationships and I’ve been happy, but quite honestly I’ve never felt that it was as satisfying as being in this business. Strange how that works-you have to suffer through your art. Happiness in some instances-ironically-is a killer. Relationships tend to put you in a happy place that I don’t think performers usually belong. When you want to ‘talk like a drug,’ I feel like whenever I’m in a relationship for an extended period of time, I start having less experiences to talk about and ultimately when I’m lonely and miserable and not in a relationship, that’s when I write the best stuff, because then I’m definitely having more experiences on the road, I’m definitely meeting more girls. Everything in my act has someone, had something that led me to thinking that. That’s not to say that it’s exactly true to form. Are these experiences that you joke about real personal experiences?Įverything in my act is based on something that happened. ![]() Your jokes seem largely compared to ones that would be shared in a drinking situation. I really always do wonder who I’d be without the stage. Which is much like a Twilight Zone episode. I’m usually very uncomfortable”¦ I love being up there and it’s my alternate home and the home that I choose to feel safest in. I actually don’t feel comfortable at all in my life, unless I’m on stage. You feel most comfortable when you’re on stage? When I went on stage, “he” was there and I just let him come out. But nobody can be who they are on stage all of the time. The person that I am on stage is the purest form of me. I believe that that is who you are, so when people say, “Is that a character on stage?” I actually say the character is more who I am off stage. How do I explain who I am on stage? If you look at comedy or performing as a drug, I think that who you are on stage is the purest form of who you are in the world, boiled down to its most pristine state. Is Mitch Fatel making a killing from carefully orchestrated character development? Or, is this just who you are and it just works out as a happy accident that you have an inclination toward such carnal comedy? You so perfectly ponder the common queries of young people. Mitch chatted with Submerge about the origin of his authentic comedic character, the performer’s drug, signing vaginas and visiting Sacramento’s The Punch Line Feb. Now, in 2010, Mitch is visiting comedy clubs to offer fans his “magical” show. In 2009, Fatel finished 10th in Comedy Central’s Stand-Up Showdown (just after Dane Cook!) and also released his first DVD, Mitch Fatel is Magical, last fall. Pervy perceptions of female undergarments and anatomy have been comically conveyed through this stand-up dude on Comedy Central specials and made available on his CDs Super Retardo and Miniskirts and Muffins. ![]() Comedian Mitch Fatel is adorably awkward and relishes in making people laugh by sharing his degenerate thoughts on dating. ![]()
