Live Stand-Up Comedy Featuring Mike Stanley July 2nd in downtown Traverse City!

Mike Stanley:
WRY, WITTY, CUNNING, AND CRASS. Mike Stanley is all of these things, but none, when put on paper, quite manage to serve the justice dealt by Stanley onstage. Given his penchant toward brutal honesty, spiced with a healthy dose of insatiable wit, it’s not difficult to see why Stanley was named “Best Chicago Stand-up Comedian” in a Peoples’ Choice poll done by the Chicago Reader.
Originally hailing from Detroit, and after spending a decade honing his craft in the Windy City of Chicago, Mike tours constantly, both domestically and internationally.
