Michael began stand up comedy in Chicago where within two years he worked regularly at the most prestigious clubs in the city including The Laugh Factory, Zanies and The Comedy Bar, where he worked as House MC. Michael returned to Ireland in the last year due to his love of the native soil, and because his mother made him. Michael has been quickly rising in the Irish, and European scene, playing regularly in major clubs in Dublin, Barcelona, Amsterdam, and London, and brought his first solo show “The Best Boy in Ireland” to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2018, in what was a sold-out run.
