Michael Jr. Keynote Speaker

Known as one of today’s most gifted comedians, Michael Jr. brings laughter and understanding to audiences around the world. He got his start performing at the legendary Comedy & Magic Club in Hermosa Beach—home to Jay Leno and a training ground for The Tonight Show. That breakout performance led to an appearance at the “Just for Laughs” comedy festival in Montreal, where he became the first comedian to perform live via satellite on The Tonight Show, helping to launch his career.

Today, Michael Jr. tours the country using comedy to inspire audiences to activate their purpose and live a fulfilled life. His impactful delivery and versatility have led to appearances on The Tonight Show, The Late Late Show, Oprah, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Comedy Central, and TEDx, as well as keynote engagements for Fortune 500 companies.

Michael has spent a significant portion of his career bringing laughter to uncommon places, including homeless shelters and prisons. In addition to empowering audiences through his live performances, he has appeared in Sony Pictures’ feature film War Room and starred in Selfie Dad and More Than Funny.

His comedy specials, Laughing on Purpose and More Than Funny, are also available on DVD.

At home, Michael is happily married. He and his wife are the proud parents of five children.
