Mike Speenberg @ SPiFFY SQUiRREL Comedy Show (The East Room) 11/23/2014

11/23/2014: Mike Speenberg  at Spiffy Squirrel Comedy Show at The East Room. $5

Conceived in the back of a ’69 Firebird and raised on hush puppies and fried bologna, comic Mike Speenberg has taken his own unique brand of generational comedy all over the country, sharing the stage with other comedic greats like Mitch Hedberg, Lewis Black, Dave Attell, and Bob Saget.

Fueled by stories of home and family, love of country, and being drunk in public, Speenberg’s comedy hits home with everyone of us who have lived through crazy step-parents, above ground pool parties, and square pizza with canned corn.

The Mike Speenberg – Mitch Hedberg Nashville Connection

Tonight, Mike Speenberg is headlining at Zanies Comedy Showplace.. but six years ago this week, he was the middle act on that same stage for Mitch Hedberg. “Early in my career I was fortunate enough to open for Mitch Hedberg on more than one occasion,” says Speenberg. “I didn’t realize at the time how much it would mean to me later in my life. He was a sweet guy and I miss him.”

Here is a video clip of Mitch Hedberg on stage at Zanies Easter weekend six years ago talking about Mike:

“He’s a hard act to follow,” said Mitch Hedberg. “I’m a hard act to follow too, because when I’m done I take the microphone with me.”

Others have described Speenberg’s act as a “perfect blend of Jeff Foxworthy and Dennis Leary.” He’s performed everywhere from Las Vegas to Cuba and has been featured on everything from “The Bob and Tom Show” to “The HBO Comedy Festival.” While the majority of comics today seem to focus in what makes them different from everybody else, Mike makes you feel like he grew up next door to you.

Here’s Mike talking about the Weekly Reader:

Mike is headlining at Zanies tonight at 7:30 p.m. – tickets are just $10. You should go.
