A soft-spoken Midwesterner who keeps himself amused with a dark imagination that tends to surprise even him. Wordplay, absurdity, silliness, dad jokes, non-dad jokes, and the occasional bit that wanders somewhere it probably shouldn’t…but ultimately we’re all glad it did. Also, farts.
A short hosting set first, then a longer feature set — plus a couple that take the road less traveled.
Watch me first (short hosting set).
Longer feature set (Huh, he’s not too bad at this… 🤔)
If you like fun. This one is fun. A little dark. But still silly and fun.
Let’s get weird.
My podcast, where I think way too hard about how jokes work — out loud, so you don’t have to.
Mike Franke is a Cincinnati-based comedian who regularly performs at the city’s top independent venues — Commonwealth Comedy Club, Go Bananas, and Bombs Away! Comedy. Imagine someone with a philosophy degree co-writing jokes with the less-mature, high-school version of himself.
Looking for feature work at clubs. Able to work clean if needed, but like experimenting a bit during the late show. Also open to hosting, showcases, and festivals. I show up on time, I don’t run the light, and I’m low maintenance.
