Gig Length: 15 - 120 minutes
Insightful and hilarious observations on every day life as a person in their 40s who doesn't look it. Reminiscence of what what was and is now in technology. An honest look at how ridiculously we all behave on the road, at work, with our kids and our parents and especially out spouses. My show has been referred to as a relationship seminar that's really funny.
I will often go into the crowd and talk with people about their work environment as well.
Michael Thorne hails from a burrow of Minneapolis quaintly referred to by its inhabitants as "Nordeast". He grew up there before it was the hip, artsy community after which a beer was named. A product of an un-chlorinated gene pool consisting of factory workers and English teachers, he considers himself "cultured white trash".
"My GED is framed in mahogany." The youngest of 5 siblings, (some blood, some step) he was often overlooked or left to his own faculties to find his way. " Out of great pain, comes great art. Van Gogh and Jackson Pollock were tortured souls who's struggles manifested themselves in breath taking oil paintings. Billie Holiday was an abused little girl whose voice rang with joy and anguish. Richard Prior grew up in a brothel watching his mother turn tricks and he made our stomachs ache with laughter about it with his brilliant turn of a phrase. Some mild neglect and Michael Thorne has a mediocre comedy career. Man, if my parents would've locked me in a closet and kicked my ass once in a while, I might be famous!"
He realized Had a party, that everyone was staring at him for his next word after riffing with friends. " you've got to do something with that." Someone said. "What?" He said. "You're really funny!" So instead of pursuing the radio broadcasting career he had just finished school for, Michael put together 3 minutes of the goofy cartoon impressions and little brother stories they had laughed at and brought them to an open stage at The Comedy Gallery in Uptown Minneapolis. That has lead to a career of one crazy story after another over the last 2+ decades, sharing the stage with such comic legends as the late Bill Hicks, Steven Wright and the late Mitch Hedberg. After a brief stop in the corporate World, to qualify for a home, Michael now enjoys the balance of being a home dad, sobriery, and being a comedian.
All I need is a stage area that has good facial lighting, and a good sound system. If you don't have 1 or either, I'll bring them.

Wired mic preferred. 25 ft cord or more. Facial lighting. A back up mic and cord in case. Again, I can provide these as well.
