Mike Mercury

Comedian Mike Mercury is a Wisconsin native and resident who started his comedy career in Los Angeles as the founding member of the improv group, High Adventure. They performed weekly in the Main Room at the world-famous Comedy Store for several years before Mike  made the jump to stand-up comedy and quickly became a comedy club favorite at clubs all over the U.S.

Mike has performed literally thousands of shows for groups of every size and type: from black-tie affairs at swanky hotels for well-heeled People Who Take Themselves Very Seriously, to decidedly more casual occasions like the annual steak feed for the county corn growers at the local VFW hall.

Mike’s broad appeal has led to appearances with a diverse array of artists including Louie AndersonBob SagetBill MaherDavid Lee Roth and Leon Redbone to name just a few. He’s also the only stand-up comedian to have been featured on both Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion and Big Top Chautauqua’s Tent Show Radio, heard nationally on Public Radio.

Mike’s combination of smart observational humor, audience interaction and lightening-quick wit is a sure-fire hit with most any audience. Mike is a great choice for corporate events, fundraisers, comedy clubs, casinos and theaters.
