Hi, I’m Mike Rose!

​

 I’m a singer, actor, comic, and creative collaborator based in New York City. I grew up in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, raised by a Wawa hoagie, a public school theater program, and the Philadelphia Eagles.

​

You can usually find me onstage, online, or on a comedy line-up—being laughed with (or at... I’ll take either). As a vocalist, I bring a rich, high tenor sound that’s inflation-proof in this economy of skyrocketing high notes.  I approach performance through a lens that’s a little off-center—and that’s where the magic lives!

 

My work explores the neurotypical and the neurodiverse, the brooding and the biting, and the sharp and the tender. I’m trained in Lucid Body, Laban, and Miller Voice Method, which keeps my process grounded, expansive, and experimental—whether I’m building a character or rewriting a joke backstage at a stand-up set.

​

When I’m not performing, I’m working as a certified dog behaviorist or scuba diving when and where I can. My solo show proposal for the Coney Island Aquarium is still pending.
