Name:  Mike Connor

Joined: March 2005

Michael Connor, dubbed "the funny one" by his fellow N Crowders, has been funny all his life.  In fact when he was born, his mother could not stop laughing at him (his father, however, could not stop crying).  He won the humor award in his first grade class and his stand-up routine headlined the Our Lady of Grace talent show from third grade to seventh.

In high school, he was admonished for writing a report on Paul Revere that was friggin' hysterical.  Apparently, Mrs. Giampetro could not handle a few jabs at the early patriot.  Mike contends that his paper was factual as well as funny and still holds a grudge to this day.

Mike attended Oberlin College where he was able to make fun of the school's abundance of hippies with the sketch comedy troupe called Piscapo's Arm.  He has written dozens of sketches and even taught a class at Oberlin titled "The History and Practice of Sketch Comedy."  On his summer breaks, Mike honed his stand up at the Laff House in Philadelphia.

After graduation, Mike was known as "the funniest furniture salesman in Hamilton, NJ."  This title made him somewhat proud, yet more suicidal.  So he started looking for a way to be funny on stage.  He found it with the N Crowd.  Currently, he can be seen making the N Crowd look good every Friday at the Actors Center.  Also he teaches fourth graders at Independence Charter School.

Check out Mike's website Keys To The Moon.com.  His short films made with The N Crowd and with his friends can be seen here.  Here is one just in time for the holidays:  A Very Pez Nativity
