Unstoppable Farce; The Mitch Maloney Story Mitch Maloney Unstoppable Farce tells the story of "Mr. Mirth" himself, in his own words, beginning with forty-five years of what might generously be described as a wasted existence before he decided to become the most successful FC (Famous Comedian) of all time. He describes how he created his Lithuanian Chupacabra alter ego, honed his signature Cheezy Pleezers bit, and became a viral sensation on Qlip Qlop and H!jnx. He dishes the dirt on touring with Hannah Gadsby and Dave Chapelle, what really went down behind the scenes at SNL, and what it was like to be the first (and last) comedian to play the Acropolis. And that's just the beginning. This audio production was made possible by the Seventh Reformed Church of Latter Day Witnesses. Audio engineering by Darbeliostriumopolatrius Macodivetticus. Theme music: "Ouchy" written and performed by Muddy Mitch with Sweet Tooth Delacroix. Monssun Monssun Monssun - Simonas Gudavičius is a Lithuanian musician & producer coming from Siauliai/Vilnius.
