About Mike

American stand-up comedian, Mike G, has established himself as a unique and refreshing young talent in the few short years he has been plying his comedy wares in Australia and abroad.

Having travelled extensively in Australia and performed in venues including the Comic’s Lounge in Melbourne to the Brass Monkey in Perth, Mike G has built up a diverse and original style of stand up which has resulted in regular headline/feature spots in Perth –his home away from home. Mike G is also a regular MC in all the major comedy venues in Perth and has performed in gigs as diverse as hosting rock concerts at universities to corporate functions for jaded CEOs and titans of industry.

Competing against seasoned pros and first timers alike, Mike G won the WA state championship of national comedy competition Green Faces in 2005 which culminated in a spot at the National Finals in Canberra. From there he went on to perform in venues in Sydney and Melbourne and became a mainstay in the WA comedy scene.

As well as performing stand-up on his frequent trips back to America, Mike G has also appeared on Melbourne’s Champagne Comedy TV special, the Rove Daily web-site and Triple J’s radio show J-Arts.

2009 was a great year for Mike G in which he performed his one man show ‘Mike G Lies to Strangers’ at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Earlier in the year he made the finals of the Catch a Rising Star comedy competition at the Broadway Comedy Club in New York. Then after returning to Perth in August Mike G won the ‘Best of the West’ inaugural Rottnest Island comedy competition resulting in an all expenses paid comedy tour of the Eastern states of Australia.
