MIKE MCGEE

"Mighty" Mike McGee is an international spoken word artist, writer, performer, speaker, slam poet and comic. He has performed in thousands of venues all over North America, and was one of the first Americans ever to perform poetry at the University la Sorbonne in Paris, France.

Mike began performing comedy and poetry to audiences at home in San Jose, California in 1998. As a Poetry Slam competitor in the U.S., Mike has competed at the National Poetry Slam on team San José several times. In 2003, Mike won the coveted National Poetry Slam Individual Grand Championship, besting over 300 nationally ranked poetry slammers. He has since toured over 170,000 miles throughout the United States and Canada where fellow National Poetry Slam Indy Champ, Shane Koyczan and beat-boxer poet extraordinaire C.R. Avery (of Vancouver, B.C.) joined him to form the group Tons of Fun University in 2004. They have since headlined music festivals across Canada, bringing their unique blend of poetry-laden "talk rock" to massive audiences all over the great north.

In 2006, Mike became the first slam poet ever to win two separate individual titles by being crowned the 2006 Individual World Poetry Slam Champion, besting over 70 of the world's best ranked slam poets.
As a solo artist, Mike's work and performances are well-liked. The titles he has collected are immeasurable and the venues he has performed in include some of the most notable venues and universities across the country. He books internationally and is on tour throughout the year.
