Mike Gaffney

Mike grew up in a tough New Jersey neighborhood where he quickly learned he needed to get tough or get funnyHes not that tough but Mike Gaffney is very funny. Mikes style of comedy is very conversational discussing day to day life not only as a single dad but as a friend, son , uncle and all around good guy. Wherever Mike performs whether it be in a New York City comedy club or a town fundraiser Mike wins audiences love and respect with his personal take on life and fatherhood. People all over find Mike very relate-able and likable. His high energy and quick wit keep audiences engaged and entertained the entire time.
There are two things I love to do.. One is make people laugh, especially people I love and the other is to help people figure things out inside themselves. Mike is not only a single father with full custody of his teenage son and daughter he is a recovering addict with almost two decades of recovery and experience. Its almost like I have two different stage acts. Theres the regular comedy scene where I do all my day to day life stuff then theres the recovery material that I do mainly for the recovery community. I very rarely talk about recovery in mainstream clubs..which is the way I am in life .. I LIVE recovery I dont necessarily have to talk about it.
Mike took to the stage at 32 which is a little older than most. He spent a few years grinding it out before taking a break like many comics do.. In 2009 Mike decided that his love for comedy was too strong so he hit the stage full speed ahead and hasnt slowed down. Mike works regularly at most clubs in NYC as well as comedy clubs up and down the east coast. You can also hear Mike on his weekly podcast The Mike Gaffney Show
