Mike Wilkinson

FINALIST IN CHANNEL 4’S SO YOU THINK YOU’RE FUNNY 2000

FINALIST IN CITY LIFE NORTH WEST COMEDIAN OF THE YEAR 2001

Full to the brim with down to earth Northern charm, Mike takes a bemused glance at the world and then throws it a smile. The laughs come thick and fast with Wilkinson's dry humour and razor sharp wit. He recently supported Dave Spikey on his latest UK tour.

Mike's been a professional comic for almost a decade, beginning by reaching the finals of the So You Think You Are Funny? new act competition in 2000 & making the final of the City Live Comedian of the Year for North West acts the following year. Since then he has supported the likes of Peter Kay, Johnny Vegas and Ross Noble, as well as headlining clubs all over the country.

Mike has a laid back style onstage, but can crush a heckler in seconds. He regularly comperes and appears at The Frog and Bucket, Jongleurs and is a member of the Comedy Store's topical improv. group - MEN at Work. Mike is also an accomplished pianist and guitarist.
