   Mike Brody's Comedian Bio
BioJealousy isn’t always a bad thing. In the fall of 2000, Mike Brody watched a friend perform stand up comedy at an open mic show. Out of jealousy and spite, and to prove that he was funnier, he signed up and performed too. And so it began... Brody has dropped the jealousy and now performs all across the nation. His show has been described as a mix of intelligent humor (without being holier-than-thou), energy (without being obnoxious), and lovable dorkiness (without the pocket-protector). Brody is a young talent that bridges the too-common gaps between generations.

Bill Hicks, Mitch Hedberg, Greg Giraldo, Eddie Gossling, Doug Stanhope, Mike Birbiglia, Sarah Silverman, Zach Galifianakis, Demetri Martin, Harland Williams, Maria Bamford, Patton Oswalt, David Cross, Lewis Black, Dave Attell, Drew Hastings, Paul F. Tompkins, Todd Barry, Nick Swardson, Andy Kaufman, Ian Bagg, Doug Benson, Daniel Tosh, Dave Chapelle, Jeff Cesario, Brian Regan, Emo Philips, Louis CK, Jim Gaffigan, Chris Rock, Bobcat Goldthwait, Sean Rouse, Norm MacDonald, Henry Phillips, Steven Wright. There are certain comics that every comedian is influenced by whether they know it or not: Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, George Carlin, etc.
TV Shows"The Buzz By Cheapo" - 12 half-hour commercials on the CW Channel. Friday nights at midnight on channel 23 (and 10pm on channel 8). And The WB’s "Felicity"....I’m serious!

About me:
.. For comedy promo (bio, printable headshots, etc.) go to http://www.mikebrody.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In addition to doing comedy in clubs all over, I am very proud to say that I do "paranormal stand-up" for Beyond Reality Events (that's TAPS from Ghost Hunters.) http://www.beyondrealityevents.com title or description

Beyond Reality Events takes you to the magnificent Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Co. A TAPS favorite, Ghost Hunters has been there on numerous occasions and broadcast their first ever live Halloween special from the hotel, (with amazing results.)
Join members of the TAPS team and other famous paranormal researchers for a weekend of informative lectures and investigations at the hotel that inspired Stephen King to write The Shining.
Visit http://www.beyondrealityevents.com/stanley for more information and to purchase tickets. This event WILL sell out.

Don't be shy...
Come and play with us... This is a video of me doing a shot of Temporary Insanity Hot Sauce with Jason Hawes of Ghost Hunters. Actually, the first shot wasn't on camera, which is why I say "It's worse!" Don't watch the end if you don't like gross stuff! Mike Brody and Temporary Insanity Hot Sauce!
