Felicia Michaels - Episode 367

Steve Cooper talks with comic Felicia Michaels. Felicia has appeared on such networks as MTV, A&E, Comedy Central, VH1 and Showtime. Not to mention NBC, ABC and FOX. She also was the Comedy Grand Champion on Star Search. Her first comedy CD, Lewd Awakenings, landed her on XM Satellite’s list of top 100 jokes. She was nominated twice as Funniest Female by the American Comedy Awards before clinching it. Breaks from touring were supplemented with film and photography courses at NYU and The New School, which led to her writing and directorial debut with the Cine Eagle Award-winning short film In the Weeds. Work soon followed on Mitch Hedberg's Sundance Film Festival selection Los Enchiladas, as an actor and assistant director. Guest appearances followed on sitcoms, and her ongoing photo documentary project "Stand Up / Stripped Down" won first place at the Prix De La Photographie Competition in Paris. She currently performs across the country, has started painting and is working on a book.
