Michele Mortensen

Clients can expect a clean (or slightly naughty) performance that will be somewhat tailored to the audience. I have a likable personality that will come through to everyone and will connect with young and old, men and women alike.

Michele Mortensen began her comedy career six years ago after a rather “normal” life as wife, mother of two, professional musician, and arts administrator. She first began studying with Rich Gustus, who has taught many successful comics, including Myq Kaplan and Shane Mauss. Her other teachers have included Judy Carter, Cary Odes, Dave Rattigan, Bob Gautreau, and Eddie Brill, of "The David Letterman Show."
Michele has played at clubs throughout the East Coast, including the Comedy Studio and Mottley’s Comedy Club in Boston, Headliners in Manchester, New Hampshire, as well Side Splitters and Coconuts in Tampa/St. Petersburg, and the Fireside Grille in Charleston, S.C. She has performed with numerous headliners, including finalists from “Last Comic Standing,” Myq Kaplan, Gary Gulman, and Michele Balan, as well as several winners of the Boston Comedy Festival, Dave Russo, Robbie Printz, Paul Nardizzi, and Dave McDonough. In 2010 she was a finalist in the “New Hampshire’s Funniest Comic” contest and was selected to perform in the first annual “Plymouth Rock Comedy Festival.”

A versatile performer, Michele often sings and performs her own song parodies in her act. She has acted in several films, including the upcoming “The House Across the Street,” where she played the wife of actor Alex Rocco, known best for his performance as Moe Greene, from “The Godfather.” She also has a co-starring role in the upcoming independent feature “Justice is Mind” and appeared on the A&E series, “Southie Rules.”

I own a small PA system with a mic and also have a portable keyboard.
