Michael Beers has been performing as a stand up comic for about four years. He started out doing small gigs at open mics in the Missoula Montana area getting stage time between hundreds of college bands you’ve probably never heard of and whose members will probably become accountants once they sober up after college. He then graduated to more glamorous gigs playing mostly his own family reunions and some very lucrative performances at retirement homes, which coincidently were his first paying jobs as a comic (2 cookies and a glass of milk). A large portion Beer’s act is based on his own life growing up in Montana with his mother and his three sisters, their dogs, and a disability. He also ventures into some social and political commentary. Beers is currently traveling around the country performing mostly at conferences. He won the Norman G. Brooks comedy competition at the Hollywood Improv in 2005 and was the winner of the 2003 Brickwall amateur comedy competition in Spokane, WA. Michael Beers  has been performing professionally as a stand-up comic since 2003.
