Fooooolks it’s Bentzen Ball week and YOU KNOW we’re gonna feature a Bentzen Ball headliner as a part of this week’s Funny Human of the Week. Looking back through the Funny Human archives I was shocked to discover that this week’s comedian has yet to be featured. It’s Michelle Buteau, she’s great, and she’s co-hosting a show at the Lincoln Theatre on October 26th called #ADULTING with Jordan Carlos! She’ll be joined by special guests like Tig Notaro, Sheng Wang, Amanda Seales, and more!
Let’s watch Michelle doing standup, huh? Here she is on HBO’s 2 Dope Queens!
One way to get to know a comedian better is via a novelty interview show, like Stupid Questions with Christ Distefano! We learn a lot of interesting nuggets about Michelle in this thing!
Michelle hosted a webseries for VH1 called In the Know with Michelle Buteau, here’s an informative ep all about plastic surgery! Yikes!
Our new friend is a real good poster on Twitter if you haven’t already smashed that “follow” button. Sometimes she posts about NYC livin:
Shout out to all the middle aged men in Brooklyn lugging their standup bass back home on the subway after playing those jazzy boozy brunches. I see you.

As a New Yorker, it's your unspoken job to ask the person mouth breathing with an upside map where they need to go.

The lady next to me on the subway is googling 'birthday fruit ideas' & it reminded me there's still good in the world.

Sometimes she’s tossing out classic nuggets of wisdom:
I don't know that I can entirely trust adults who let their pimples linger. How long can you ignore your truth?

I don't entirely trust people who wear crop tops and keep reaching for stuff on a high shelf. Where are we going with this?

Before we go, let’s watch Michelle’s adventure through the comedy challenge (which full disclosure I helped create) 7 Minutes in Purgatory! She did great! She’s great!
