Stand Up Comedy - MIKE SHEER - Live in Porto

Stand Up Comedy - MIKE SHEER - Live in Leiria

Canadian comic Mike Sheer's comedy jumps from light to dark, smart to stupid, low-brow to high. Audiences are on their toes while laughing off their butts.

​

With an engaging and affable stage presence, his focus on the moment means he blurs the line between compere and act – happy to give in to sudden crowd-sparked inspiration amongst crisp and gag-heavy routines.

He’s performed in fifteen countries and counting. This includes headlining and compering at theatres, clubs and pubs, as well as solo hours and compilations at festivals like Edinburgh Fringe, Adelaide Fringe, and Melbourne Comedy Festival.

Screen appearances as a stand-up include MuchMusic (Canada)'s Video On Trial, BBC One's Are You Having a Laugh? - Comedy and Christianity, and Shorts.tv's Shorts International. But his magnum opus is as the kid who gets high and blows his head off in stoner classic Harold & Kumar Get The Munchies – a scene that's since become a cult favourite.

PRESS QUOTES

“Gags written with elegant efficiency and delivered with a punchy style... waltzes around the potentially contentious with a self-effacing charm…” Steve Bennett, Chortle

"Engaging irreverence... interesting, often graphic, occasionally surreal" Time Out

"...snapshots of Hicks or Louis CK shine through, but undercut by that Commonwealth wit and dryness." View From The Gods

"Sparkling payoffs" ★★★★ Scotsgay

​

“Does not shy away from any topic...has the crowd in stitches” ★★★★ Adelaide Advertiser

"I was suddenly lost in Sheer’s world, in the tumbling energy of his avalanche rants…To be a participant in the world of his Godless and deceptively insightful imagination is a pleasure and an excitement" On The Fringe

ABOUT OUR PARTNERS

A. ORBIS

In addition, Comedy Cachet is proud to support a good cause and we are donating part of the profits to the ORBIS Foundation.

ORBIS - Cooperação e Desenvolvimento is a Portuguese NGO for development. They have multiple cooperation for development projects in Portuguese-speaking countries, focusing mostly on access to education. They also have their own fair trade project and, in Portugal, they are active in the areas of Human Rights promotion and education for sustainable development.

At the moment, they are focusing their fundraising efforts towards the project "O Sonho Nasce Aqui"!. They are partnering with an Angolan NGO - Okulongisa - to build a school in Bairro Coragem. This school will host about 350 children from the neighborhood who, otherwise, have to walk 14 km to the nearest school. Building this school will drastically reduce school drop-out rates and prevent children from being exposed to the dangers and exhaustion of the current commute. It is also a chance for these children to have access to better opportunities in the future and empower the community.

The budget is €22.000 (22 K), including three classrooms, bathrooms, and a small room with a kitchenette for one teacher (who will probably not be from Bairro Coragem).

All licensing, concession of terrain, contractors, and a permanent teacher are assured; we "only" need to raise the money and start the construction work.
