The Bonkerz Seal of Approval
Google defines Seal of Approval as a status or a recognition given to a product, service, or concept that meets certain criteria created by an organization or person.
The Bonkerz Seal of Approval is required before any comic can work for Bonkerz. These requirements include a commitment to professionalism, as well as providing a great experience for the audience. Bonkerz’ comics are given an itinerary for each venue that outlines show times, content requirements, contact information, lodging details and even a minimum time frame they must appear at the venue before the show.
Bonkerz’ comics typically work multiple Bonkerz venues every year. Some of our headlining comedians work as much as half of their calendar year just working for us. Their actions at each of our venues relates to their employment at all of our venues. Doing a good job in one location is how they earn the opportunity to work all of our locations. The converse is also true, so you can rest assured that the Bonkerz Seal of Approval is not easily earned and something that comics must maintain in order to perform at any and all Bonkerz locations.

Competitions
Mike’s dominance in this competition is best expressed this way: He won three of the six nights of his preliminary week. He won five of the six nights of the Semi-Finals. He won four of the five nights of the Finals (and the one night that the judges didn’t have him winning, the audience booed the decision and chanted his name.) And, despite his dominance, the other competitors this year couldn’t even be mad at him… not only because Mike is simply really nice, but also because Mike is simply really funny! To elaborate, he is the 2011 winner of the Seattle International Comedy Competition. He was also the 2010 winner of the Trial by Laughter Comedy Competition. In addition, he was a semi-finalist in the Laughing Skull Comedy Competition in 2010. Last but not least, he got 3rd place in the San Francisco Comedy Competition in 2007.
Perfectly Efficient
Mike’s debut album, Bees Can Taste with Their Feet, was featured on iTunes. Notably, it reached number eight on the iTunes comedy charts! His material is crisp, perfectly efficient, and he supplements that material with subtle but perfect facial expressions and vocal inflections.
