- Bio
- Michael Dane is America's favorite middle-aged, Jewish, bisexual social satirist. Or, at least one of them. Often referring to himself in the third person, he used to do standup comedy on the road, but now he just writes down funny things.
He's putting together a book of food humor called "Does This Taste Funny? A Half-Baked Look at Food and Foodies."
