Michael is a talented ventriloquist, puppeteer and comedian with a lifetime of experience in this unique field of entertainment. He has worked with Kelly Clarkson, The Muppets and Boyz to Men. He has headlined on the world's most luxurious cruise lines; Disney, Royal Caribbean, Princess, Norwegian and Crystal. Corporate events; Rainbow Room, Rockefeller Center-New York, The Bellevue Grand Ballroom-Philadelphia. Comedy clubs and Festivals; Hong Kong Comedy Festival, Catch a Rising Star-New York, Yuk Yuks- Canada. Shows at luxury resorts Atlantis and Sandals in the Caribbean.
Michael took his talents to a new level when he appeared on the hugely successful television show, America's Got Talent, receiving glowing reviews from the celebrity judges. He has written and performed on the award winning television show “Kids in the Firehall” (Bronze Apple Award Winner) and is the star of the reality television pilot “The Dummy Test”.
