Mike Maxwell
Mike Maxwell is a Chicago area comedian, writer, and actor. Mike has been a regular guest on WLS-890 and WGN-720 AM and was a featured writer for the Tribune's RedEye newspaper. In 2025, Mike performed at the Boston Comedy Festival and Badgerland Comedy Festival. Although he performs nationally, Mike is a regular at the Zanies and the Chicago Improv while performing at all the major clubs in Chicago. His comedy style is an upbeat level of sarcasm and emotion covering many personal moments the audience may have experienced as well. In 2026, Mike has performed at the Li'l Rhody Comedy Festival, Traverse City Comedy Festival, and Burbank Comedy Festival (best of the fest).
Mike recorded his debut comedy album 'Wait it out!' at Zanies Rosemont in late 2023 and debuted #1 on new releases for Amazon Music charts and hit #3 on the Amazon Music Best Seller chart.
