His debut comedy special, Life Begins, was released on YouTube in January 2020 and earned a spot on Laugh Button’s T op 35 Comedy Specials of 2020 and the album version was on Sirius/XM Raw Dog Radio’s T op 10 Comedy Albums of 2020.

When he’s not on his nationwide tour, he plays all the major New York City clubs, including the Comedy Cellar and New York Comedy Club. It makes no difference to him whether he’s performing in a club, bar, casino, elevator (done that twice), parking lot, rooftop, on a fake beach in front of a freight train, or in technically-legal underground speakeasies; comedy is his life. Mike is dedicated to making the majority of you laugh and the rest of you confused, yet oddly satiated.
