Mike Murphy: Mike Murphy is a father, comedian, actor, writer, and US Army Veteran. Mike grew up in Garfield, a neighborhood in the inner city of Pittsburgh, in the late 90s and early 2000s. Mike enjoyed being the center of attention by making people laugh. Mike’s intelligence, coupled with the gift of gab, helped him transform himself into Comedian Mike Murphy. 

Mike was first introduced to comedy while owning a dump truck business when a friend suggested he sign up to do stand-up comedy at the Pittsburgh Improv. After his first time on stage, Mike knew comedy was his Happy place and his calling. Love, at first sight, some might call it. Mike’s first big break was in 2019 when he opened up for DC Young Fly in front of more than one thousand people. After that performance, he dissolved his dump truck business and moved to Los Angeles, California to fulfill his dream as a Comedian. 

Since moving to LA Mike has performed with Legends such as Dave Chappelle, Gary Owen, David Arnold, Earthquake, Mark Curry and Deray Davis as well as touring with Tony Rock. You can see him perform live all over Los Angeles at places like the World Famous Comedy Store, The Laugh Factory, and The Hollywood Improv.

The conversation takes a turn as he breaks down the wild weekend with Ryan Davis that ultimately pushed him to quit drinking for good. From there, we get into the grind before comedy, as Marcus shares the jobs he had to survive before finding his lane, and the lessons that came with them. And just when things couldn’t get more interesting, he speaks on his online feud with Corey Holcomb, giving his side of the story and what really went down behind the scenes.
