Mike's humor is diverse, unique, silly, and light. He started doing stand-up in 9th grade in American History class, and was later voted Most Likely to Host SNL by his high school senior class of 300+ students. He has been crowned a two-time back to back champion of Mid-Missouri's Last Comic Standing Competition, and he was a member of the 2008 Cotton Bowl Championship Football Team. He's performed all over the world at weddings, comedy clubs, corporate events, including LA, Chicago, Tokyo, London, and Amsterdam. He was also accepted into UCB's Academy after studying completing their basic course of study in both long form improv and sketch.
Michael was the perfect combination of professional and hysterical. He arrived early for staging, brought his own equipment and stayed in communication the entire time leading up to the event. Our residents absolutely adored him and we are already looking at future event dates for more of our properties to have him at down the road. 10/10
Michael was awesome - I hired him for a birthday party and he brought the house down. They loved him! Michael is just as likable as he is funny - highly recommended!

Mike is a professional and can perform under any circumstances for any crowd - clean, family-friendly, adult, and/or blue material. He talks about being too nice and how it's affected his life, living in NYC, his travels, being single in his 30's, and his passion for football, + much more!
Mike’s humor is diverse, unique, silly, and. He played D1 sports in college and has traveled all over the world. He was a NYC-based comic until the pandemic hit in 2020.
Whether it's been entertaining on stage or on the football field, this class clown has always loved the spotlight. Hassled by nearly every teacher since kindergarten for his classroom distractions, Michael spent most of his time in detention. He grew up impersonating his favorite childhood comedians, Jim Carrey & Adam Sandler for friends, family, detention supervisors. He started doing stand-up in 9th grade. His history teacher challenged him to try it in front of the class. He was always funny from the back of the room but coming to the front of the class and doing stand-up was completely different.
He was later voted Most Likely to Host SNL by his high school senior class of 300+ students. Torn between his passion for winning the classroom over with laughter and his love for the game of football, he pursued both after beginning to play football at the age of 8. In the fall of 2006, Mike walked onto the Missouri Tigers Football Team. He did enjoy all the free Gatorade on the sidelines.
