Mike Wilmot

Mike’s effortlessly funny style is a fast-paced, hard-hitting comedic look at everyday life. His comedy targets very widely, from diets, kids and sex – to American-Canadian backbiting and his fondness for beer. On stage he times himself by how many beers he has had, rather than having to look at his watch. A proud cynic, Mike is politically and anatomically incorrect, but with a passing resemblance to Oliver Reed he is completely engaging.

Quite simply this man is a cult hero adored by both comics, critics and audiences alike.

Mike Wilmot is an established Canadian comedian who started working the stand up scene in 1995 then quickly transitioned to the UK in 1998 performing on the comedy and at the Edinburgh Festival to great critical acclaim. For over a decade Mike has built up a reputation as one of the unsung heroes of the UK comedy scene achieving rave reviews throughout the country for his unique stand-up.
