A native of St. Louis, Mike MacRae moved to Houston in 1995 where he first started performing comedy at local college events. After graduating from Rice University in 1999, Mike started performing at the legendary Houston Laff Stop, where he soon developed his trademark blend of insightful social and cultural commentary with uncanny, unique impressions.
Next, Mike made his television debut on Comedy Central's "Premium Blend", and was selected 'Best Local Comedian' by the Houston Press. He is also a regular on the syndicated morning radio program 'The Bob and Tom Show', and provided two tracks for their latest CD release.
Mike is a favorite act in comedy clubs all over the country, and has lent his distinctive voice to dozens of popular anime cartoons. When he isn't performing solo, he unites, Voltron-style, with five other Houston comics to form the infamous Whiskey Brothers. Mike MacRae would never, ever, under any circumstances describe himself as 'edgy'.
