Bio:

MIKE GAFFNEY grew up in a tough New Jersey neighborhood where he quickly learned that he needed to get tough or get funny... He is not that tough, but Mike Gaffney is very funny. Mike's style of comedy is very conversational, discussing day to day life, not only as a single dad, but as a friend, son, uncle, and all-around good guy. Wherever he performs, Mike wins the audience’s love and respect with his personal take on life and fatherhood. He is always found to be very relate-able, likable, and his high energy and quick wit will always keep audiences engaged and entertained.

​

Mike took to the stage at 32, which is a little older than most. He spent a few years grinding it out before taking the next step and he decided that his love for comedy was too strong, so he hit the stage full speed ahead. He is a comedy club favorite up and down the east coast as well as NYC. You can hear Mike on his weekly podcast All in Our Heads.

​

Mike was a semi-finalist on NBC’s Last Comic Standing. Executive Producer Wanda Sykes was so impressed with Mike, that she used his clip to promote Last Comic Standing on Ellen and The View. He has appeared on The Artie Lange Show, has two appearances on Gotham Comedy Live as well as The Best of Gotham Comedy Live AXSTV, 30 Rock NBC and FBI CBS. He has received rave reviews in both the Examiner and Reality Rewind.

​

Whether he is talking about being a single father or clean living, his show appeals to audiences of all ages.

“This guy is so good! His delivery is amazing, and his jokes were excellent. He told his life, and I loved hearing about it, and he was spot-on! Keenan said he loved it, and it was a great set. Russell said it was a great set and he has a fresh take on raising them. Roseanne said he was getting pissed off and she was relating, and she loved it.” - Todd Betzold (quotes from Last Comic Standing)
