few years now, including Dublin and Barcelona.
He is regularly paid to MC large clubs and perform opening and headlining sets at many venues. He
is particularly on fine form when asked to MC rowdy university gigs.
Mike was the first and original
promoter of the Troy Club and used to promote and compere The Piccadilly Circus comedy club. He
continues to occasionally book and organise various gigs around the country.
His first excursion into the
Edinburgh fringe was in 2003 with "Some Comedians without Peter Buckley".
In Edinburgh 2006 he had a
successful run with his debut 1 hour stand up show "Out to Lunch".
Mike was a regular presenter on
Festival FM throughout the Edinburgh festival 2006.

2007 Edinburgh show "raised 2b stupid"

energetic performance from this crazy man with a beard" Three Weeks

...an effortless patter that puts any audience in a good mood." Chortle Review
King Gong winner Jan 2003

Unlike most comedians who rip
off Bill Hick's phrase, "I'm also available for children's parties." he is actually
available for children's parties with his children's show, "Songs and Stretchy
Balloons."
Mike has also written and
played the villain in The Snow Queen and Dick Whittington and made an animation short called
Pirate and Parrot 2003 in Toon Boom Studio 2.0.
He is also making comedy music
videos and podcasts and has had thousands of downloads mainly for Brian
Damage and Krysstal promos, a sci-fi comedy Toth and Cato and horror comedy sketch show The Hammy
House of Haw Haw.
