Michael Mee

'Woody Allen with a Cork brogue'. Time Out, New York

Having established himself as a successful comedian and writer at home in Ireland, Michael has recently moved to England to bring his intelligent, quick wit and talent for storytelling to the UK scene.

He has performed at the Murphys Laughter Lounge, Dublin, City Limits, Cork, Galway Arts Festival and all the major venues in Ireland. He has been invited to support Tommy Tiernan, Rich Hall, Ed Byrne, Simon Munnery and Phil Nicol.

Michael has played in Belfast, Cardiff, Manchester, Edinburgh and Glasgow as well as London clubs such as the Comedy Store, Jongleurs, the Banana Cabaret, East Dulwich Comedy Club, Headliners, Bound and Gagged and Lee Hurst's Backyard Comedy Club.

Described by the Sunday Times as 'the brightest Irish comedy talent of recent times', he has performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the New York Irish Comedy Festival, the Kilkenny Cat Laughs Festival and the Mad Hatters Comedy Club in Brussels as well as numerous comedy clubs in Ireland and the UK.

Michael is used for many corporate events in Ireland. His previous life as a lawyer and lecturer makes the perfect choice for a formal, business audience.
