About Mike Polk
Mike Polk Jr. is a Cleveland comedian whose best-known work is about Cleveland. Raised in Newton Falls, Ohio, he studied at Kent State University and performed with the comedy troupe Last Call Cleveland, but a much wider public found him online. His Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism Video series poked fun at the city's image, with one version signing off on the line At Least We're Not Detroit, and parts of it ended up in Michael Moore's documentary Capitalism: A Love Story.
Local subjects and song parody kept coming. Please Stay, LeBron brought together local celebrities to ask LeBron James not to leave the Cavaliers. The song One Semester of Spanish Love Song led to him performing it for Kim Kardashian on Telemundo, and The Factory of Sadness and The Great Office War belong to the same run of videos.
Television gave his humour a regular slot. He contributed sports comedy to The Rizzo Show on WJW, delivered the recurring Browns Hangover segment and joined the NBC affiliate WKYC as a feature reporter and commentator, work recognised with Lower Great Lakes Emmy Awards. In print he wrote columns for The Plain Dealer and the book Damn Right I'm From Cleveland, and readers of Scene Magazine voted him best local comedian.
