Dig, it's appropriate that this cat has gigged in nearly every comedy venue in
the United States. At home in an eclectic gathering in San Francisco or a rust
belt bar come shifts end, this clever comic will turn the tables on everyone.
Winner of the prestigious"Best of Philly" award presented by Philadelphia
Magazine, Stank takes you down a road you didn't expect to travel with a
conversational style that makes you feel like you're riding the bar stool next
to him. Among his international television appearances includin "Comedy On The
Road" with John Byner on A&E, Mike presents a special wit that transcends
all mediums and blows his audience away! Maybe that's why everyone wants him
back. Originally from Erie, PA where Mike realized playing second base on the
Duck Inn softball team would not propel him to the "Big League". He moved to
Philadelphia to cut his teeth doing stand-up. With his rust belt influence, his
intellectual proclivity and a blue-collar approach to humor, he turned
Philadelphia on its ear. Stank does for stand-up what Tom Waits does for music.
So if you like Mr. Waits and have a penchant for Charles Bukowski, you'll love
Mike Stankiewicz! An interesting aspect to Mike's career is that he has lived on
both coasts (LA and NY) and fits seamlessly in both locations as well as
everywhere in between. Now Stank plies his wares everywhere from Las Vegas to
Atlantic City, from Mobile to Montana. He's a modern day Kerouac, hell, you
probably passed him "on the road"! Now youn can see him perform, live at The Comedy Cove this weekend!
Mike's show is also featuring the very funny John Kensil & LaTice
