BIOGRAPHY

He is fast, funny and probably the best veteran of the North American comedy circuit. Mike MacDonald has appeared on such TV shows as The Late Show with David Letterman and The Arsenio Hall Show, Just For Laughs, Showtime’s Comedy Club All-Stars, A&E’s An Evening At The Improv and Comedy Central’s The A List. He has hosted both the Gemini Awards and the Just For Laughs 10th Anniversary Special for the CBC and starred in a sitcom on that network called Mosquito Lake. Mike has also starred in three well received and critically acclaimed specials for the CBC in Canada and for Showtime in the U.S. His first special, MIKE MacDonald; ON TARGET, was the first one hour prime time special special by a stand-up comic in the history of the CBC. This success led to Mike’s next special, MY HOUSE! MY RULES! which also won its prime time slot when it aired in Canada and was nominated for two Gemini Awards for “Best Writing” and “Best Performance” in a comedy special. Meanwhile, the Showtime version of “MY HOUSE! MY RULES!” was nominated for two Ace Awards –“Best Comedy Special” and “Best Writing in a Comedy Special”. His third Showtime special, HAPPY AS I CAN BE, was originally slated as a half-hour show, but when executives screened the footage they immediately expanded it to an hour. “Happy As I Can Be” in its one hour format also achieved a number 1 rating when it aired in prime time in Canada on the CBC.
