MIK on the Mic

I didn’t grow up dreaming of being a comedian. I grew up dodging dysfunction, getting out of trouble, figuring out if the chaos around me was normal (spoiler: it wasn’t), and learning to make others laugh to change the temperature of the room.

​

Fast forward a few decades, and somewhere between being a dad to beautiful daughters, a whole lot of therapy, and meeting the love of my life, I realized that comedy had always been my way through. When I met Richele in 2022, she saw it too. She’s not just my wife—she’s the one who encouraged me to take what I do naturally at home (making her laugh until she can’t breathe) and bring it to a stage.

​

In 2024, I finally did it. And it turns out, a lot of people need to laugh through the stuff society doesn’t allow us to talk about.

​

Comedy, for me, isn’t just about punchlines. It’s about survival. It’s about redemption. It’s about telling the truth in a way that connects, heals, and maybe even makes you spit out your drink in public.

​

MIK on the Mic is what happens when a self aware recovering perfectionist with a sharp tongue and a soft heart picks up a mic, talks about real life, and finds out people don’t just laugh—they feel validated.

​

So if you’re the type who laughs a little too hard at the wrong moments, overthinks everything, and still believes God uses broken things (and broken people) for good… you’re in the right place.
