About
Mike Cannon is a New York City-based comedian, podcaster, writer, and actor. headlined at some of the world’s most iconic venues – including a sold-out performance at Gramercy Theatre in his hometown of NYC. He currently co-hosts the extremely popular "Chrissy Chaos podcast" with Chris Distefano.
Mike released two independently-produced hour specials on Youtube – "Mike Cannon's Huge Mistake," a crowd work special on edibles, and "White Privilege Homeless" – in 2022. His debut comedy special, "Life Begins," was released on YouTube in January 2020 and earned a spot on Laugh Button’s Top 35 Comedy Specials of 2020 and the album version was on Sirius/XM Raw Dog Radio’s Top 10 Comedy Albums of 2020. He released his latest, much anticipated special, "Chris Distefano Presents Mike Cannon: Traumatized Animal," in September of 2024.
Outside of stand-up, Mike has made a name for himself in both acting and writing. Select credits include Amazon Prime’s "Timing," Barstool Sports’ "Friday Night Pints" and "Answer The Internet," Comedy Central’s "Stupid Questions with Chris Distefano" and "The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore," and TruTV’s "Blake Griffin’s Double Cross." He was a contributing writer and performer on MTV2’s "Guy Code" and worked as a contributing producer, writer and panelist for ViceTV's "Super Maximum Retro Show." He currently hosts three digital series, "Heads Up with Mike Cannon," "Mike Takes Edibles," and, most recently, "Existential Dad."
When he’s not on his nationwide tour, he plays all the major New York City clubs, including the Comedy Cellar and New York Comedy Club. It makes no difference to him whether he’s performing in a club, bar, casino, elevator (done that twice), parking lot, rooftop, on a fake beach in front of a freight train, or in technically-legal underground speakeasies; comedy is his life. Mike is dedicated to making the majority of you laugh and the rest of you confused, yet oddly satiated.
