"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.
