Dugan
Mike Dugan was living in
Vermont and training for a ski racing career when he hit a tree at 30 miles
an hour and blew out his knees.He turned his energies to his talent for making
people laugh and began his rise through the New York comedy club circuit in
the 1980's. Since then he has had a
successful career which has included stints writing for television shows. He
is a former winner of the prestigious San Francisco International Stand-up Comedy
Competition and has won an EMMY Award for his writing work on 'Dennis Miller:Live'
on HBO. Dugan's numerous television
appearances include 'The Tonight Show' with both Johnny Carson and Jay Leno,
'Evening at the Improv', 'Comic Strip Live', MTV and VH-1. He has also traveled
the U.S. opening for performers such as Roy Orbison, Chuck Berry, Ricki Lee
Jones and Harry Belafonte. The San Francisco Chronicle
describes Dugan's appeal as, "An innate charm and sincerity on stage, an
absolutely natural acting talent ... his material is both intelligent and appealing." Mike has spent the summer
of 2000 at San Francisco's Marsh Theatre developing and performing his one man
show "Men Fake Foreplay" to both audience and critical acclaim. "The
show's a reassessment of modern manhood" says Dugan, "and about the
need for men to be more considerate of women and how we don't hear that voice
anywhere today." After a trip to England
Mike intends to head for New York to stage the show, which the San Francisco
Bay Times has described as, "A Funny incisive one-man journey to enlightenment".
