Our bar/restaurant has hired several comedians over the years, Mike is one of our favorites and I highly recommend!
Was a amazing night and Mike hit a homeowner. He had everyone involved with the show and had people on the edge of there seats laughing.
Some felt it went on too long with a couple audience members. Some things were a little touchy as some have mental challenges. Looking into maybe marking them with happy face stickers next year, to avoid issues. Nothing that can't be looked into and adjusted. Overall great performance, comedians were great, was not for everyone, but it happens, there's always a few which is fine. However, In our camp survey the event had great ratings overall both from our campers and volunteers! They appreciated your time after the show as well. Thank you all so much!

Mike put on a great show. We absolutely loved everything. He was easy to work with and always a professional. We definitely recommend 10/10. My guests already want another show!
We have hosted several comedians at our bar/restaurant but none have gotten the laughs and crowd involvement that Mike and his crew did. Quick witted, unscripted, and funny. We already booked him to come again. Highly recommend.
Had Mike for our staff party he was great! Could not recommend more!
Mike is so funny and very entertaining! Went to his show (last minute) with a group of girls and we all had a great time! He is engaged with the audience and keeps you laughing!
Ur show was hilarious! Loved to see u up on stage just laughing and having a great time as much as ur audience! What a great night! Please come back to the area again. We would LOVE to come again!
We hired Mike to perform at our Operations Offsite in Birmingham MI. Various groups within the company had thought about a comedian before but the decision was always nixed due to concerns around employee comfort and content. The last thing anyone wanted was for a comedian to deliver an act that is too raunchy for corporate.
We aren’t a traditional company. The majority of our people work remotely and these offsites are the one time a year where we can celebrate one another. They are critical to our culture and extremely important. Not just any comedian will do.
Mike absolutely CRUSHED our event. In the weeks and days before our event, Mike took the time to meet with myself and the leader of the group to learn about our company, values, mission, and the people that make up the Operations department. Mike created an improve show that engaged the audience in a truly funny and memorable way. He was even able to “gently Roast” some of our senior leadership that brought the room to tears. The event was a week ago and we are still laughing about it. Mike gave us lasting memories, laughs, and even songs that we will remember for years to come. The entire audience was fully engaged. His stage presence was uplifting, inspiring, and helped pull people together. When audience members engage back, you know your comedian is worth their weight in gold. Mike just didn’t deliver stand up comedy. He also helped MC our awards show! Our Chief Executive said “this is one of the BEST offsite we have ever had”.
A true class act appropriate for any corporate venue. We cant wait to have him back again in October to entertain another group!
Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us! We will never forget our night with you.
Sincerely,
OneStream Software, Operations Department.
I have been privileged to see this guy twice! He has killed both shows and never has a dull moment. The crowd interaction is by far top notch. For Mike to bring his gang to a small town and leave with people asking him to come back is simply amazing! This guy will be at the top one day, count on it!
We recently had Mike as our headliner and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. The audience loved him, he was funny and engaging. Mike was also very professional to work with and responded promptly to all requests for information. Mike was very easy to work with throughout the entire booking process and production.
We here at Frozen Squid Productions highly recommend working with Mike Ball.
Response from Mike Ball:
Thank you so much Josh! I appreciate you brother. I had a fantastic time. Can’t wait for next time.
OMG! Best comedy show ever! If you want non stop laughter these are the go to guys! A must see performance. Thanks for the fabulous time😁🤣😂🤣🍻
Mike and his team did a fantastic! Everyone had a great time and lots of laughing going on. We are already booking him again for Dec 2023
Mike did an amazing private comedy show for my bachelor party! He showed up on time and was well prepared for the event. He had a stage, lighting and sound which was perfect. Mike and his opening act, Eric, put on a great show. If you send them material beforehand they will incorporate it into the show which makes the show more personal and hilarious! I highly recommend Mike for your comedy show!
We went to the show Friday. . Let's just say we laughed the whole time. The show was awesome. It was a great night out. Mike is hilarious. Had the crowd engaged. Can't wait to see them again! You won't be disappointed.
Response from Mike Ball:
Brenda! Thank you. This made my day.
I thought the first guy had a few good jokes and was ok. The second guy was ahhh. The 3rd guy was really good. The headliner was very good. The great part about headliner is most of his material was impromptu. So his material would always be fresh. My feedback was all good with pretty much the same comments as mine !!!
Great show!. Very positive feedback from all that attended. The show was hilarious and had room bursting with laughter.
Mike had an amazing performance. The whole audience had tears in their eyes from laughing so hard. Along with his performance he was very professional, working with me to help make the event a success. Mike is an asset to any event" ..
Mike was very quick to answer any questions, he showed up on time and price was very reasonable.
He wanted to make sure the event was a success and he delivered. Mike turned a living room into a mini comedy bar. His interaction with all attending was incredible, witty and very funny. He even brought an opener, Ronnie Rohrbeck, who got us laughing immediately. Everyone had a an awesome time. Will definitely bring him back on our next big celebration.
Our VFW Post had already hired Mike once before and are booking him again in the near future. His interactive performance and improv never disappoints and sets him apart from other comedians. We sold out on tickets and everyone loved the show. He and his fellow comedians stayed after and sang karaoke which kept the party going. Mike is very professional, punctual and well worth the cost.
My good friends invited me out for my first live stand up and I was blown away by how good his show was! Thanks Matt for the sore cheeks and Abbs! Great show!!
Mike and friends never disappoint. We've had Mike three different times and will have him back again. Highly recommend Mike for great evening of entertainment.
Response from Mike Ball:
Thank you so much Jeff! It's always a pleasure working with you and the club. Your members are always so much fun. Take care and see you soon.
Top notch comedy. Everyone loved that attended raved about the show and wanted to know when we would book him again.
Response from Mike Ball:
Thanks Jay! It was a pleasure working with you and your team. I will never forget that night. I appreciate you having me!

We booked Mike Ball before the pandemic. When the pandemic hit, we had to push the show. Our theatre was finally able to put this one together and Mike and crew knocked it out of the park. Everyone laughed a lot. Was a great vibe in the Leopard Lounge. Highly recommend!
Mike Ball and his comedy team were brought in to help us raise money for our friend with cancer. We made the right decision no question! Funny, Funny, Funny! Mike and his team brought the house down and the entire party loved it all! Thank you Mike for making this a success!
We recently hired Mike for an end of year company celebration and he was such a hit that we had him come back to our event center again last week. We had a ton of great feedback from him and his openers that we have hired him to come back again next month.
I surprised my office staff with stand up comedy with Mike Ball during our Christmas Party. We laughed so much!!! I am so glad he came to our office party. Booking was super easy; Mike is super professional
Our VFW hired Mike for a fundraiser for our post. He was professional, efficient and best of all hilarious! Everyone loved the show ages from 21 to 80. He helped promote the show, designed flyers and tickets, which made the planning of the event easy for us. We plan on hiring him again soon.
My wife and I put on an employee appreciation for one of our businesses and I must say that Mike ball and chuck absolutely rocked it out! Mike did a lot of improv and off the cuff stuff. He always used and kept the crowd involved. Definitely the best comedic show I’ve been to in a long time! I would 100% recommend mike and his openers and we plan to use them again in the future for one of our venues.
Mike is very professional to deal with and made the entire booking/planning process extremely easy. He’s great at replying to questions and prompt in communicating. Most of all…. Our guests loved his performance.
Mike was awesome! So funny and loved that he interacted with the crowd! Best part is his ability to recall that interaction and incorporate it into an impromptu singing roast! So freaking funny! Highly recommend!
Mike and his opener had everyone laughing so hard for a bachelorette party! He was hilarious and knew how to read the crowd. Highly recommend for any party! He did a fantastic job!!
Response from Mike Ball:
What a great night!! I will always remember this gig!! Congrats to your sister Rebecca. 🥳🥳🥳
It is always nice to have a pleasant - easy booking, and when things go as hoped for. Mike and Sal did a wonderful job for our company event. Highly recommend!
Several of us have been going to see Mike & "Friends" now for a few years... First off, they never disappoint! Second - during Covid, most of our "bubble" have been very low key and not really ready to venture out much just yet, so being able to have a gathering in my back yard was amazing! We hosted over 30 guests of all ages and backgrounds. Everyone LOVED Mike with his witty - off the cuff comedy, J-Bell knocked it out of the park, & the local talent - Chuck Bates did a pretty good job as well! There was also a hidden gem among the group - J-Bell's wife, "Peace". She did a poetry spot that had us all speechless! Mike has a way of vetting his comics, and knowing the audience... he always brings tons of laughs, and great accompanying talent that would get any crowd rolling! Thanks for an amazing, uplifting night! We all had such a great time, we are already talking about where/when our next event is going to be!! :) Looking forward to the next one!
Mike did awesome good he put together a all star line up of comics...well worth every penny ...very professional and very down to earth I would recommend him for any event..but book him with caution, because if you dont really want to laugh hard the intire time then he's not the guy for you...
I'm definitely giving him 5star rating this guy is the truth.....thanks mike for everything
Response from Mike Ball:
Phil you did it again! Thanks for the amazing review. It was an honor performing at your 3 year wedding anniversary show. Your wife, family and friends were amazing. With those people surrounding you I’ll be performing at your 30 year anniversary as well. Thanks a million for having myself and my comedy friends be part of the celebration.
My boyfriend and I go see Mike at the Brass Rail almost on a weekly basis. We enjoy it so much I decided to book Mike for my boyfriends birthday party. Saying we were over satisfied is an understatement. We had a very diverse crowd and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the show. I couldn’t be more pleased with how the show turned out. I would HIGHLY recommend Mike for anyone looking for a great time filled with lots of laughs. I will definitely book again!
Mike did a fabulous job at my husbands surprise 40th birthday party. The crowd thoroughly enjoyed him - we were all in tears laughing so hard and I continue to get positive feedback about the event! He was very professional and easy going - highly recommend him!
Response from Mike Ball:
Angie! It was my pleasure being able to participate in the celebration of Brandon’s 40th Bday. You both are blessed with great friends and a wonderful family. Thanks again for the opportunity.
Mike did a wonderful job at our Company Holiday Party. He was able to improvise his material based on the audience reactions and his act kept me giggling all weekend as I remembered bits and pieces of the show. This morning at work they are still talking and laughing about it - all had a great time and are teasing those who didn't show up that they missed a hilarious evening.
Response from Mike Ball:
Thank you Melinda! I had an amazing time working with you and the Epic Machine team. I appreciate you having me.
Mike did a phenomenal job working the crowd in his over an our long of belly-laughing comedic performance. He was the highlight of our 20 year reunion and I already have people asking if he can be booked for our 25 year!
Response from Mike Ball:

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.
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.
