Why He's On The Site: Cringe Humor
first caught wind of Mike after he destroyed at the Lil' Moe
benefit @ The Stress Factory...Shortly after that he appeared on
a Cringe Humor Show where he once again killed and won over a
tired crowd...Mike is very likeable on & off stage. His
style is pretty straight forward and brutally honest...While
"Vec" isn't that angry on stage, his biting
commentaries on life & society are dead on and has audiences
howling...Mike has the style to make it huge in standup, and I
predict he will be headlining across the country very soon

Bio: Born in Youngstown,
Ohio and raised Italian American and Catholic. My father was
involved in a family business and my mother was/is an elementary
school teacher. As a family, we moved back and forth between
northeast Ohio and South Florida throughout my childhood.
Started playing contact football at age 9 in Florida and
wrestling at age 13 in Ohio. My senior year of high school I
placed second in the Florida AAA State Tournament and went on to
college at Pennsylvania State University where I wrestled in
1991-1992 and tutored student athletes. Moved to Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania in 1995 with my bachelors degree in criminal
justice. Began work counseling adjudicated teens and children
with mental health issues. Started teaching special education in
the Philadelphia School District in 1998. Received my masters in
Special Education in 2001 from Cabrini College and continued to
teach in both public school and residential school settings.
Started stand up comedy in 2000 and moved to New York City in
2003. Was the 1983 and 1984 Spelling Bee runner up at Pine Grove
Elementary School. I failed to advance to the national bee in
Washington D.C. because of the complexity of the word roothless,
which I still spell with two o's.
