Videos of Mike

"The Oddest Oddyssey" This 'fractured' tale is a kooky cookie version (literally) because Mr. O runs a food truck with the worst luck.

"The Dutchman Journals" One fateful day for The Flying Dutchman means centuries of punishment. An original 'ghost' story.

• Enormous energy
• Audience participation
• Fabulous facial expression
