Mike Black has done numerous commercials including some Nike Golf spots with David Duvall and a Jack In The Box commercial featuring two other unknown comedic performers at the time Jorge Garcia (Hurley from Lost) and Efran Ramirez (Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite). He was featured with Bobby Lee on an episode of Pauly Shore’s Minding the Store on TBS. You may have also seen him on Dice: Undisputed on VH1. Mike Black also made his television stand-up debut on Comedy Central's Live At Gotham.
Mike Black's Interests
General
I am interested in filling out this box, it is my chief concern. Aside from that, film, comedy in all it's forms including the unintentional which seems to be God's favorite...God's Favorite was also a comedic play by Neil Simon which would fit much more neatly in the box of things that do not interest me. If you think I'm being harsh I defy you to read the play...or better yet if you have some Scotch and an eight ball go to your local community theatre and watch it...I guarantee it's playing somewhere and a choice between chicken and fish is offered to the patrons so they'll have something else to focus on. Wow, sometimes you don't realize how much you hate a thing until you start writing about it. I did like The Odd Couple and Seems Like Old Times...way to go Neil.
Music
Too much to really give you an accurate scope on what I like so instead here are the last few songs Itunes randomly played for me like cruel mistress of music it is:
This Will Be My Year-Semisonic
Sympathy for the devil- The Rolling Stones
The bed's too big without you-The Police
Smoke and Ashes-Tracy Chapman
Accidents will happen-Elvis Costello
The Blue Mask-Lou Reed
King Tut-Steve Martin
Clinique Ladies-Bruce McCullough
Muzzle of Bees-Wilco
Season Cycle-XTC
Diamond Dogs-David Bowie
Friend of Mine-Liz Phair
Ol '55-Tom Waits
These Arms of Mine-Otis Redding
The Boy Done Wrong Again-Belle and Sebastian
Movies
I do not wish to type this much. I've seen everything that's out right now. Movies and I go together like "The Good People of Phillip Morris" and Tobacco.
Television
Enough about my entertainment preferences! You will anger me!
Books
The following are books I've recently started...I will finish a small fraction of them before I move on to a new batch. I rarely take the time to read a book unless I'm on a long trip or imprisoned. Here they are: The Great Gatsby, The Sun Also Rises, The Philosophy of Insanity, The Joke and its Relation to the Unconscious, The Underminer and Infinite Jest (which if I finish reading it, I will derive the same sense of satisfaction and accomplishment that the author must have felt when he finished writing it).
Heroes
Get to know me and that will be pretty easy to figure out. Although some of my heroes I keep to myself.

About me: I am Mike Black, a comedian. I do other things as well such as act, write (although most of my writing is also comedic), draw, read and once in a blue moon direct. If you're reading this we probably met at a show or have worked together in some capacity. If we haven't met I perform pretty regularly at The Improv on Melrose and sometimes at The Comedy Store on Sunset, so if you go there and see me perform say hello unless you're my stalker Jamie and standing in the back of the room staring at me with a look of cold calculated purpose is your thing. For those of you who don't have a stalker I offer this piece of advice for future reference: Choose your Secret Santa circle wisely.
