Spike McGuire Comedy's Comedian Bio
|
| Bio | From his humble beginnings in Reno, NV., Spike has
always been destined to a life of performance. It wasnt
long before he took to the road joining the cast of Circus
Smirkus, for their 2002 tour of New England. Of
course, he didnt leave Reno without a bang; his final
pre-tour appearance was along side such notables as
Ron Lucas, Jeff Hobson and The Raspyni Brothers in
"Laughing Matters", an all-star variety show at the
Pioneer Center for Performing Arts.
After completing the tour he returned home and picked
up where he left off, providing the feature
entertainment at Circus Circus Hotel/Casino for their
New Years Eve celebration, leading a crowd of
screaming fans in a count down to 2003. A year that
would offer Spike more impressive credits to add to
his list including; "Ally Oop! Variety in Motion at
Wingfield Amphitheater, "The Cascade of Stars" in the
Golden Phoenix Hotel/Casino showroom and a spot as the
opening act for KC and the Sunshine Band.
With another year of experience under his belt
Spike took to the road again, this time impressing
Californian audiences while providing pre-show
entertainment for top names including WAR and The
Village People. Being in such close proximity to home
he was sure to visit Reno regularly where he could
often be found emceeing events at Harrahs
Hotel/Casino for the Virg Summer Concert Series
introducing national headliners such as Blue Oyster
Cult, Survivor, and John Wait. In the fall Spikes wanderlust
set in again when he packed his bags for Chicago. Splitting his
days between Columbia College (the largest performing
arts college in the country) and the magnificent mile
(the perfect forum for street performance).
With so many great years before it was hard to avoid
2005 being another big one. After getting his name out
quickly on the Chicago improv scene Spike was asked
to perform during a segment of MTV's made, set as an
invitation only audition at ComedySportz. Later that
same year, the young rocker was invited to Canada to show
his northern brothers a good time at the Longest Days Street
Festival.
Still the life of the party in 2006 and only half way through
the year Spike has already gained more bragging rights.
During The Lucky Ralph Show he tore up Chicago rockers
at the Metro (Chicago's largest independent rock club), and
kicked the night off before it ended with a reprise of the
yo-yo routine on stage with Telenovela. Of course, what
would a big Chicago appearance be with out Spike doing
a promo segment with the WGN morning show? A month
later Spike showed the same love to a West Coast crowd at
Xtremely Amped, where he rocked along side Left of Center,
Hot Pistol and some mighty skilled Motocross riders. | | Website | comedythatrocks.com | | TV Shows | MTV's Made

Spike McGuire Comedy's Blurbs |
About me:
I try and base my show on one simple piece of insperation of the king himself, "little less conversation, a little more action." I took a lot of time picking my soundtrack and even more time creating the routines, and it all boils down to 50 minutes of the best of the best in a little thing I like the call The Spike Show. The reason for this? It gives me up to 50 minutes of material to incorperate an shows that I host, bands that I open for, and other variety shows I am in. I figure, "hey, even if I only get 2 minutes on that stage, is there any reason I shouldn't rock as hard?"
Hence my creation, "Yo-yo: the world's shortest variety act"
Come on, you know you want to see it...
