Los Angeles, CA (April 13, 2014) – Just in time for Mother’s Day … Uproar Entertainment (www.uproarcomedycd.com) is pleased to announce the upcoming release of their newest comedy CD, “MILF and Cookies”, by the award-winning comedian Felicia Michaels.
Uproar Entertainment worked with Michaels to record some of her hilarious skits in front of a live audience at the Comedy Underground in Seattle, Washington. The recordings took place over the weekend of Jan. 30-Feb. 1st, 2014.
Michaels has a unique category all her own, with a track record of blue material but adding the fact she is a single mother with two boys. She infuses comedy into the dynamics of male and female relationships, and counts herself a part of the growing group of sensual feminists. This new recording will no doubt explore more into those areas, and add her sharp commentary to those subjects with some pretty serious laughter for the audience.
This is her first recording with Uproar Entertainment.
About Felicia Michaels
An "Army Brat" who was used to moving about, Michaels built her early career by refusing to allow her gender tame her material and never once flinching when it came to the rigorous travel and TV schedule that a stand-up comedy career demanded in the late 90's.
Her comedy appeared on such networks as MTV, A&E, COMEDY CENTRAL, VH1 and SHOWTIME. Not to mention NBC, ABC and FOX. She soon found herself becoming a COMEDY GRAND CHAMPION on STAR SEARCH. 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 quit comedy after her second child was born, only to return from that hiatus stronger and more determined than before. Touring followed quickly, along with a two-year run with the hit underground podcast "Beauty and Da Beast" with fellow comic Joey "Coco" Diaz. Their "raw-some" comedy chemistry earned them a Best Comedy Podcast nomination from the Podcast Awards in 2012, keeping company with the likes of fellow nominees WTF and the Nerdist.
Currently Michaels keeps herself busy as a returning regular on the second season of Nick's "Parental Discretion," touring, and putting the finishing touches on a new directorial project - all this while raising two young boys as a single mother.
