Michael Joiner is undoubtedly one of today’s most popular entertainers and comics. Whether it is nationwide sold-out comedy tours, films, hidden camera pranks or YouTube skits, the comedian demonstrates an extraordinary ability to connect with a wide and diverse audience.
A true “comic’s comic,” Joiner, often referred to as “God’s Smart Aleck,” has been performing his own sarcastic style of observational stand-up comedy for over 25 years, becoming one of the best known and respected clean comics working today. His crowd interaction and unequaled ability to improvise with audience members has gained him respect among fans and Comedians alike.
Audiences around the country may recognize Michael from one of his many starring roles in films like Sony Pictures theatrical sleeper hit, “The Grace Card” or the more recent Comedy hit “Heaven Bound,” as well as his scene-stealing roles in movies such as “My Name is Paul,” “Rumors of wars,” “Love Covers All” and most recently “Kudzu Zombies.” He’s written for dozens of stand-up comedians, as well as “The Tonight Show” and “Politically Incorrect.” Joiner’s many TV appearances have included “Bananas” & Chonda Pierce’s “Stand up for Family’s” on the Dove Channel. He was actor Bruce Willis’ full time photo-double for the hit TV show “Moonlighting” and he appeared on many TV shows including “21 Jump St.” and “30 Something.” He was the 1st place winner of the Hollywood Improv’s “Funniest Comic in LA,” and Nashville Christian Music Hall of Fame “Comedian of the Year” nominee 2013.
Now Joiner brings his top-rated show to Topeka for the 2018 Topeka Youth For Christ Comedy Café on Friday night, November 9th, starting at 6:30 p.m., at Fellowship Bible Church, 6800 SW 10th Ave.
