I'm a lucky man. I've performed stand up on HBO and The Tonight Show, written for television hits like Ellen, the Drew Carey Show, and Real Time with Bill Maher, and lived long enough to become friends with many of my heroes. I hustled for years in comedy to build a career, and now that I'm an established writer, I do stand up simply because I love it.
I don't accept a lot of private gigs, but like to do some of the more interesting ones. I like to cater my act to my crowd, so new venues and audiences make it fun for me.
Definitely picked the right person for our private party after reviewing lots of YouTube videos. Sophisticated down home mix of L.A. and rural America humor all in good fun. Highly recommend Mike Larsen for your next event.
Let me start off by saying I was very skeptical and nervous about booking a comedian online without having any prior knowledge of even knowing how to actually book an entertainer as such. Mike Larsen arrived on time, was very prompt and polite and put on an amazing show! Our guys loved him! His jokes were timeless and relatable. If you are looking for mature jokes, and funny family stories then Mike is your guy! I would most definitely book him again!
Mike did a splendid show for our women's club with local humor and personal touches added in. I was laughing most of the time as I tried to watch other club members focused on him and enjoying his performance. He is spontaneous, casual and informal as if talking to a neighbor.
Very entertaining with a wide variety in his performance.
I booked Mike for an event for an apartment community we manage. He performed at PG-13 comedy show for everyone and they loved it! He's professional, very prompt with communication and yet hilarious. I will absolutely use him again and highly recommend him to others. Thanks again, Mike!
