Introduction

Comedian Mike Mercury has performed thousands of shows for groups just like yours – everything from annual awards banquets for small-town fire departments to fancy Fortune 500 galas. Mike is a Wisconsin native and resident who started his comedy career at the world-renowned Comedy Store in Los Angeles with an improv group called High Adventure. He headlines comedy clubs and casinos all over the country, has appeared on TV as the co-host of Hot Tonight and has been heard nationally on Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion on public radio.

Mike did a fantastic job at our corporate awards banquet. He executed to perfection in that it was a corporate event with a wide variety of audience while also keeping the show PG/PG-13. He was hilarious and had the whole room laughing hysterically. His quick wit and crowd interaction was genuine and a pleasure to see. Employees, guests, and the owner of the company were raving about Mike after the show. I was very nervous about hiring a comedian to do a show based on some disaster stories that I had heard of in the past. Make no mistake, Mike is very much the professional. We chatted a few times before the event to get on the same page. He did exactly what he said he would do, was on time, executed flawlessly, and was simply hilarious the whole time. You cannot go wrong with the decision to contract with Mike Mercury. Dave Kreuser General Manager Zimbrick Chevrolet

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Like most comedians, I charge a flat fee per event. My fees typically range from $600 to as much as $3000 per show depending on where your event will take place, the type of event, my expenses for travel and lodging and more. Typically I charge less for non-profit groups and fundraisers and more for private corporate events and company holiday parties. Fees for ticketed, open-to-the-public shows at casinos, theaters, clubs, etc vary so feel free to ask. If I have the date open that you are inquiring about, I will work with you to stay within your budget.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I've been a paid, professional comedian for over 30 years and have performed in every type of venue imaginable, all over the country. I started my comedy career as the founder of an Improv Group called High Adventure and several years later transitioned to stand-up comedy.
