One of the funniest and hardest working comics I know, Mike McPartland takes a break from his busy schedule of five mics a night to talk about why he's not more famous. Talking to Mike about standup is always refreshing and inspiring. He doesn't care about social media trends or becoming famous, all he cares about is getting better at his craft and in due time that will pay off with him being a full time working comic. You heard it here first!

Really fun convo. Hope you Enjoy.
