Always a good time!

Mike can work a crowd! He livens up even a quieter group and gets everyone involved and laughing. We have booked him for our bar/restaurant several times and are never disappointed. Would like to see new openers for him in the future.

Gladwin show

The show was rough. Not enough material and the laughs were not there.

I am sorry you didn't enjoy yourself. Comedy is truly subjective. Overall I thought it was a great show and most everyone enjoyed it. After the show I had an offer for another gig. Even though this review is not something I am happy with, I do appreciate you coming out and spending an evening with us. Have a great day.

For anyone else reading this. Please know that you can not please everyone. All you can do is your best. Keep showing up and be grateful for the opportunities you have. Peace be with you.

Mike was the Talk of my Party!

Mike performed at our baby shower. Candidly, it was a tough crowd to please at 2pm in broad daylight but he knocked it out of the park! His 30 mins is all everyone has been talking about since! Very happy with his show.

Incredible experience for all involved.

We handpicked Mike and Cam Rowe, Chuck Bates, Dave Wellfare, as comedians, including Mitch Gill as DJ. F
Each was chosen for the ability to make people laugh. No one disappointed, everyone enjoyed the show. And all the comics commented, how good a time they had with our crowd.They helped me through a very crazy day.

About

From Saginaw, Michigan all the way to Los Angeles California, Mike has been carving his way with his unique, in your face style of comedy. When he first started off he was as an intern for Pauly Shore at The World Famous Comedy Store. From there he started working regularly at the Haha Comedy Club. He did this all while living in the back of his Pontiac Aztec on Venice Beach. Mike has taken all of what life has given him, and turned it into a comedy act that can be described as tenacious. No two shows are exactly the same! At a Mike's show you can always expect crowd interaction, guitar improv, and hilarious stories about girlfriends, family, and friends!

Mike has had the chance to open up for comedy legends Ralphie May, Dave Landau, Norm Stulz, and Rob Little just to name a few. Currently, Mike is producing the comedy series "The Future of Comedy Show" which is featured in venues across Michigan.

Additional booking notes

I offer a free consultation on how to "Set" the room so that you can get the production out of your event. This is important because it also makes sure you are getting the best bang for your buck.
