HEADLINER: MIKE CRONIN
When it comes to comedy, Mike Cronin is versatile. Along with doing his own stand up, he also does sketch comedy, short films and even some of his characters do stand up. In fact
Mike recently made it to the finals in the Funniest Person in Cincinnati contest as himself and also as a character. Some might say that in character, he seems more comfortable than
when he is just himself. That may be because his own stand up delves into his own awkward life and how he deals with uncomfortable situations in a very comical way. Regardless,
no matter which way you see Mike Cronin, you will leave laughing.
