Mike Dugan has performed extensively
throughout America, appearing at comedy clubs, colleges, corporate events, and
as an opening act for musical artists such as Roy Orbison, Ricki Lee Jones, Chuck
Berry, Harry Belafonte, and Shawn Colvin.
Mike grew up in Ramsey, New Jersey
and began performing stand up comedy at New York's famed 'Catch a Rising Star'
comedy club in 1985. In early 1987 he set out for San Francisco's 'Holy City Zoo'
Comedy Club to experience what was then the "hands down best comedy scene
in the country", and by the end of 1988 he had won the prestigious San Francisco
International Stand-up Comedy Competition, capping off the month-long event with
two shows for
six thousand comedy fans at Davies Symphony Hall. A move to Los Angeles quickly
led to a shot on 'The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson'. Johnny raved, and that
debut was followed by over seventy television appearances, including one more
spot on "Johnny" before his retirement and another appearance with Jay
Leno - making Mike one of only a
handful of comics to have appeared on 'The Tonight Show' with both Johnny and
Jay. Dugan spent two years touring
throughout Europe and the UK while developing Men Fake Foreplay, and has performed
'Men Fake Foreplay' in London, Paris, Amsterdam, and the Edinburgh Festival in
Scotland. Mike has spent the last year performing
Men Fake Foreplay and completing plans for the 'Men Fake Foreplay' 2008 Tour.
