Stardome: With a smile like this it's hard to "thug it out." Mike E. Winfield's bad self will be at the StarDome July 5th

Mike E Winfield grew up in the inner city of Baltimore, MD. In his years of school, his teachers always selected him as the master of ceremonies despite his shy demeanor. The confidence to be in front of large groups was created.

Later he discovered he could share his humor, in the likings of a college speech class in Sacramento, California, unintentionally. He shared speeches daily. There was nothing humorous written within these speeches, but he somehow seemed to entertain students and staff in a comedic fashion, and that’s when he realized he had the gift. The local open mic was once a week on Tuesdays and he never missed a night, often putting other aspects of his life to the side.

When you see him, you can’t help but smile and there are rumors about some spiritual ties which unravel when you hear how clean of a comedian he is which is often overlooked nowadays. Well, he does his best and gets no complaints. Despite a tough road, countless performances have earned him appearances such as Comedy Central’s Live At Gotham, BET’s Comicview, and most recently, his network television debut on The Late Show w/ David Letterman. He’s a clear example of where hardwork collides with something special.
