Why'd We Book It?

He's back! The Bad Boy of the Birthday Boys - MIKE HANFORD returns to Bottlerocket! Luke still talks about how Mike is one of his favorite shows he's ever seen here - and I have to agree. Mike unfurls an unhinged and extremely absurd hour of entertainment - and drinking (but not in like a Burt Kreischer way). Extremely silly, extremely ironic (?), extremely unpredictable - the only thing I can predict is that if you saw him before, you're probably going to want to see him again.

If you know him from Comedy Bang Bang or The Sloppy Boys, then you only know a fraction of Mike - come see what happens when he's unleashed onstage unattended for a full hour.
