Mike’s bio

WRY, WITTY, CUNNING, AND CRASS Detroit native Mike Stanley is all of these things, but none, when put on paper, quite manage to serve the justice dealt by Stanley onstage. Yeah, he's pretty hilarious, but more than just coarse anecdotes about life, there's an enviable amount of heart and warmth behind Stanley's humor.

Given his penchant toward brutal honesty, spiced up with a healthy dose of insatiable wit, it's not difficult to see why Stanley was named "Best Chicago Stand-up Comedian" in a Peoples Choice poll done by the Chicago Reader and "Best Detroit Comedian" by HOUR Magazine.

Originally hailing from Detroit, and after spending a decade honing his craft in the Windy City of Chicago, Mike has been a touring headliner constantly, both domestically and internationally since 2006. Don't miss out on an incredible opportunity to catch the man in action - this high level of killer stand-up is too remarkable to sit out.

Some of the comedians Mike has worked with include : Jerry Seinfeld, Robin Williams, Al Madrigal , Jim Gaffigan, Bill Burr, Dave Attell, Doug Stanhope, Larry Miller, Andy Kindler, Artie Lange, Christopher Titus, Gary

Valentine, Marc Curry, The Sklar Brothers, Brian Posehn, John Heffron, Kyle Kinane , Ben Bailey, Jim Jeffries , Glenn Wool , Demetri Martin , Hannibal Buress , Kurt Metzger, Chad Daniels, Andrew Santino, Janeane Garofalo, Big Jay Oakerson, Brad Garrett, Brad Williams, Bobby Slayton, Greg Fitzsimmons, Drew Lynch and more.
