At first glance, Mike Cody looks more like an computer repairman than an entertainer. However, Mikes bookish appearance is shattered the moment he launches into his act, a non-stop barrage of dark punchlines and quirky observations from one of the most unique young voices in comedy. (That's just my dirtball "professional comic" bio. I would personally describe myself as both awesome and fucking sweet.)
