Featuring Mike Mitchell

Mike Mitchell began his comedy career in 2016 as a way to chase his childhood dream of writing brief bios in the third person. Mike created, produced, and acted in the Bell FibeTv1 original series, This Is The Thing, now in its second season, and won the Go Yuk Yourself comedy competition in Hamilton. He also enjoys the hell out of an ice-cold Coca Cola. Original, not diet. But diet is fine, too.
