About Mike Francis, Spokesperon:
Michael Francis is a “stage natural” (Ft. Lauderdale News) and evidence of this was seen very early on when he entertained scores of women at his mom’s Tupperware parties.
Michael’s extraordinary ability to bring laughter to people everywhere eventually led him to an open mic night a week after he graduated from the University of Florida. While teaching in the public elementary school system by day, he was honing his stand up skills at local South Florida clubs with the likes of “Carrot Top” and “Larry the Cable Guy” whom Michael has shared the stage with on many occasions.
Since the late 80’s, Michael has compiled an impressive comedy resume that includes performances on the world-famous Las Vegas “strip”, numerous college appearances, comedy clubs and as an opening act for legendary Motown artist Smokey Robinson.
Michael is the only stand-up comic in the U.S. who performs in one live show for adults (www.pureinsanity.com) and one for public elementary schoolchildren (www.stand-upforkids.com). He performs his highly acclaimed Las Vegas style comedy show, "Pure Insanity", all over the country with his comedy partner, "Crazy Dave" Clark. This highly unique and explosive two man show includes powerful stand up routines, crazy characters, props, music and props, and an electrifying tribute to rock and roll. Mike and Dave perform "Pure Insanity" to sold out audiences at select venues all over the U.S. and they welcome booking inquiries via www.pureinsanity.com.
But Michael also has a special place in his heart for the young kids of America and he had always seen the need for the public school system to address character education. Drawing from his days as an elementary educator, Michael knew that the best approach for him was to teach character through laughter. So, he decided to utilize his experience as an educator and his charismatic and electrifying performance skills to create “Stand Up for Kids”.
Known as Mr. "L." to the school kids, Michael’s unique ability to perform age-appropriate stand up comedy coupled with a powerful and moving message has inspired thousands of children, educators and parents throughout the country. The response that he gets from the children is nothing short of miraculous has he weaves in and out of characters and delivers side splitting stand-up for the children of America. His amazingly energetic and captivating performances cause hysteria amongst the students while they learn what it means to be a “STAR”.
Michael resides in Las Vegas and also has an apartment in Bangkok, Thailand, his favorite city in the world. So, Flyingpasties.com is proud to have such a talented, versatile, respected performer as our official company spokesperson.
