Born in Chicago, Mike Wiley has been in the stand-up comedy game since 2002 and has since become a staple in the Chicago comedy scene. As well as Chicago, Mike Wiley regularly performs all around the Midwest and has opened for a variety of acts such as Josh Blue, The Latin Kings of Comedy, and platinum selling industrial heavy metal band Powerman 5000.
Mike Wiley has performed at several comedy festivals including The Charleston Comedy Festival, New York International Fringe Fest, and Chicago Snubfest, not to mention he has performed with the USO at Illinois Great Lakes Naval Base. When Mike Wiley is not performing live he is busy working on his up coming comic book, ‘Doofus 2 Death’ which he writes for Quality Quill Publishing where he is not only a writer and creator but also a co-founder.
Mike Wiley prides himself on not only being funny, but also smart and innovative. His philosophy is if an audience is watching a comedian going, “He’s saying what we’re thinking”, what is the point of saying it. An audience shouldn’t have to pay to see something they already know. He would rather be one step ahead of them and throw his audience something they didn’t see coming. Whether he is talking about childhood or marriage, or even molecular structure or astro physics, Mike Wiley’s jokes will always be equally intelligent and absurd.
