Improvising since '98, this Hirsute Lumberjack has eluded hunters and giant mythical apes with his comedic intuition. Mike has appeared in shows like the Irish Wake, Dart-Mondo and Uncle Mike Ruins Christmas where Mike played the titular character. "The real pleasure of this show... is in seeing exactly how Murphy will wreak havoc on this delicate nostalgia; he's quick on his feet, with a wicked glint in his eye and a mischievous smile that draws you in..." -Richard Morin, The Seattle Weekly. Mike also plays the drums and paints portraits of oddities.
