Church of Satire presents Mike Lebovitz, a comedian whose stage spark can be traced to childhood clowning classes at his local JCC. His high-energy, wide-eyed approach ricochets from idea to idea like a runaway train, blending surprise, glee, and a touch of danger. Audiences often describe the ride as spontaneous and joyful with a slightly hair-raising edge. Lebovitz built his chops in Chicago, appearing regularly at Zanies, The Laugh Factory, and Comedy Bar. He co-founded the showcase Comedians You Should Know, later bringing it to New York City, where it grew into a weekly destination for established names and rising talent sharing the same mic. His international credits include a New Face turn at Just For Laughs in Montreal and a win at the Montreux Comedy Festival in Switzerland. His work has been seen on NBC’s Last Comic Standing, Comedy Central, and HBO’s The Deuce, and his debut album, Two Slob Household, is available on Stand Up! Records.
