Professionally hilarious.
Mike James is a nationally recognized, award-winning clean comedian. From comedy clubs and cruise ships to Fortune 500 corporate events, he turns relatable everyday experiences into nonstop laughter.
In a house with seven kids, the surest way to get any attention was to make someone laugh. Mike figured that out early, became the class clown, and discovered that laughs and trouble often came as a package deal.
He stayed the cut-up through his years aboard a U.S. Navy destroyer during the Cold War and Desert Shield, and never really stopped. Today he's a husband of 35-plus years, a grandfather of seven, and a nationally touring, in-demand comic who turns the everyday chaos of marriage, family, and getting older into clean, relatable laughs.
Whether the room is a church fellowship hall, a comedy club, a cruise theater, or a company meeting, the goal is the same: leave people laughing together and still talking about the night months later.
Different audiences, same promise: funny, professional, and completely clean.
Fortune 500 annual meetings to small-business holiday parties. Executives, spouses, vendors and new hires all laughing at the same jokes.
