Everyone is raving about Comedian Kevin Hart, but there’s another comedian with the “heart” of God. He goes by the name of Michael Jr. He’s hilarious, serves Jesus, and is mission-focused—something EEW Magazine loves.
Hailed as one of today’s most gifted comedians who has been compared to comedic great, Bill Cosby, Michael Jr. has delivered laughs to audiences on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel, BET, ABC, Comedy Central, and countless ministries throughout the nation.
“Over the years I’ve looked for times and ways to bring laughter to shelters, prisons, halfway houses…places where hope is in short supply and laughter’s missing,” says Michael on his website. “This gave me a true glimpse of the real power of laughter.”
Through his charitable program called “S.T.U.B.S.,” individuals can provide the gift of laughter for someone in need. When enough tickets have been purchased,100% of the funds received from a S.T.U.B.S. ticket will bring laughter to those who need it most. Michael Jr. or another A-list clean comedian will put on a comedy show at a homeless shelter, prison, abused children facility and other places that minister to the downtrodden.
Michael Jr. reminds people that comedy isn’t just serious business, it’s serious ministry.
