Mike Speirs’ quick, candid wit is his hallmark. A self-confessed former party boy, he now finds his hell-raising days are becoming a distant memory as he turns to a fresh and funny look at the realities of being a grown-up. There’s the joy and pain of teaching social studies in public school... the big scare of open-heart surgery... and wistful reminiscences about striking out with women in the glory days. Mike’s life is a running reality check, and he gives his honest take on being the guy he is. Mike has been seen at the best venues on the East Coast including Turning Stone Casino, The Comedy Works, Bananas Comedy Club, Catch a Rising Star and The Comedy Connection. Mike was also recently featured at The Great American Comedy Festival at The Johnny Carson Theatre in Norfolk, NE. You'll like Mike. You'll love his humor.
