Mike Lebovitz began his comedy career at the age of six with clowning classes at the local JCC. He's been delighting and confounding audiences ever since with his off-beat yet accessible brand of humor.
His varied background in acting, directing and improv offers Mike a tantalizing array of levers to pull in constructing his act. He spits subversive turns of phrase and inhabits outlandish viewpoints in order highlight the fundamental absurdity of being. That's the fancy way of saying it; mostly he just makes funny faces at the audience. Put another way, Mike doesn't point out life's little quirks so much as he rolls around and farts on them. Mike is a member of the popular Chicago-based collective, Comedians You Should Know. He and his good buddy Junior Stopka also co-curate Señorita Weiner's Top Secret Humor Experiment and Ice Cream Social Club, Chicago's longest-running clandestine, nomadic comedy showcase and the original members-only ice cream social. A burgeoning international star, Mike has offended nostrils in Montreal as New Face of the 2013 Just For Laughs, and in Switzerland where he won the international competition at the 2013 The Montreux Comedy Fest. Mike returned to Montreux in 2014 as the "Godfather" of the competition. |
