Mike Schmidt is a Chicago-born, Los Angeles-based stand-up comedian, writer, and actor.
He has been a comedian/writer since 1991 and has had small acting roles in the film “BASEketball”, the television show “Malcolm In The Middle”, and in numerous commercials. He has been a staff writer for several projects including “Starface” and “Funny Money” on GSN, “Cheap Seats” on ESPN Classic, and “Funniest Pets And People” on WGN/TBS. He also co-wrote all of the radio content for the very successful Xbox game “Saint’s Row”.
In the spring of 2006, he became a cast member of the podcast “Never Not Funny,” an experience which changed his entire career approach. Before the show, he was known for working mainly as a topical comedian, crafting material from world events and rarely discussing his personal life. After a year-long stint on “Never Not Funny,” he left and eventually started his own podcast, “The 40 Year Old Boy,” a self-proclaimed “weekly trip through the mosh pit that is the inside of my skull. No filter, no set list – just a free wheeling monologue that can and does touch on anything I’ve ever done in my life. It’s an explosion of id, and I couldn’t be more proud of it.” |
