How It Works
Stand up for Swamp Brunch comedy battle Round one. Fighter One. Michael Clark
Michael Clark- "Chicken Joe"
“I've been 8 years with a year break in there”.
It's not about voting for me. As long as you vote. The hard truth about comedy is that you have to be OK with yourself before you ever step on the stage. You have to make fun of. The things that potentially made you cry. For me. I already see my own greatness in the mirror. If you see it. That's great. But it's more important that you donate to this awesome charity. Then this for you to vote for me directly.
7 years in comedy. One reason to vote for me?“I know I’m going to be a big name in comedy one day… don’t miss your chance to say you supported me from the ground floor.”

I've been grinding for a long time trying to make my dream to be a touring, successful comedian come true, and as a result I am a great performer. Plus, I represent all the misfits out there! Mixed race, mixed religions, mixed up brains
