About this Event
Mike Cannon is a New York City–based comedian, podcaster, writer, and actor. He has headlined some of the world’s most iconic venues, including a sold-out hometown performance at Gramercy Theatre, the footage of which he released in full on YouTube in 2025. Mike currently co-hosts the parenting and career podcast Beautiful Boys with fellow comedian Andy Haynes, as well as the preposterously titled Fart Carnival with best friend and frequent collaborator Brendan Sagalow. In 2023, he served as a contributing producer, writer, and panelist on Vice TV’s Super Maximum Retro Show, hosted by Chris Distefano. His latest stand-up special, Traumatized Animal (2024), has amassed hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube, millions of views across social media, and widespread acclaim from fans and critics alike. Mike also hosts several original digital series on his YouTube channel, including Coach Cannon, Comedians Taking Edibles and Doing Crowd Work, and his road documentary series, Spots.
In 2022, Mike released two independently-produced hour specials on YouTube: Mike Cannon’s Huge Mistake, a crowd work special fueled by edibles, and White Privilege Homeless. Both earned praise from audiences, fellow comedians, and critics. His debut special, Life Begins, premiered on YouTube in 2020 and was named one of Laugh Button’s Top 35 Comedy Specials of the year. The accompanying album, released by 800 Pound Gorilla Records, was recognized as one of Interrobang’s Top 11 Comedy Albums of 2020 and one of SiriusXM Raw Dog Radio’s Top 10 Comedy Albums of the year. Mike’s first comedy album, I Think It Just Kicked In, debuted at #1 on the iTunes Comedy chart, #7 on the Billboard Comedy chart and has been streamed more than five million times.
Outside of stand-up, Mike received critical acclaim for his lead performance in the feature film Timing (Amazon Prime) and has appeared on Friday Night Pints and Answer The Internet (Barstool Sports); Stupid Questions with Chris Distefano and The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore (Comedy Central); and Double Cross with Blake Griffin, Greatest Ever, and Top Funniest (TruTV). Additional television appearances include Failosophy and Money From Strangers (MTV), Red Eye (Fox), and MSG’s The Bracket. He was also a contributing writer and performer on MTV2’s Guy Code, co-hosted Cosmopolitan magazine’s Sexy vs. Skanky, and was a featured performer on VH1’s Why Am I Still Single?
