Mike Quindlen is a comic, actor, writer, and civil disobedient who travels the world making sardonic observations that often weave their way into his comedy. He is willing to expose and mock hypocrites…including himself. Mike is the host of the longest-running monthly comedy show in Baltimore (Second Saturday Shit Show at the Ottobar and is the founder and director of the Ellicot Silly Comedy Festival) He has opened for John Witherspoon, Doug Stanhope, JB Smoove, Alonzo Bodden, and Steve Hofstetter.
And he’s one of the first friends I made when I started comedy.

Today’s word of the day is “Slapdash,” done too hurriedly and carelessly.
Did you know: An early recorded use of slapdash comes from 17th-century British poet and dramatist John Dryden, who used it as an adverb in his play The Kind Keeper. “Down I put the notes slap-dash,” he wrote. The Oxford English Dictionary defines this sense, in part, as “with, or as with, a slap and a dash,” perhaps suggesting the notion of an action (such as painting) performed with quick, imprecise movements. The adjective slapdash is familiar today describing something done in a hasty, careless, or haphazard manner.
