This natural entertainer grew up in St. Peter, MO., just west of St. Louis. “IT” all started in preschool. Full of energy and wit, his teachers gave him time in the early afternoons to entertain his classmates in order to minimize his comedic exploits during class time. Michael did dance routines, mimicking Michael Jackson, and was a natural for leading roles in school plays. He just loved to be the center of attention so he could entertain everyone and make them smile.

Michael Anthony continued to act in plays throughout elementary school, high school, and college. His roles include everything from dramatic historic plays to gut-busting comedies. At times, he would juggle appearances in two different plays simultaneously. After graduating high school, he put his entertainment career on hold in order to pursue a college education from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. The acting bug forced Michael Anthony to take classes at COCA and The Muny, two of St. Louis’s well known performance venues.

He entered into a profitable entertainment venture when he began performing, writing lyrics, rapping, and co-managing the group, KRT (Knights of the Round Table). Michael’s natural passion for writing led him to co-write songs used in sports highlights for both the St. Louis Cardinals and the St. Louis Rams. He and KRT performed songs live in the studio of News Channel 5’s Sports Plus in 2006 and 2007. In 2005, Michael won the Midwest Market Addy Award for writing a commercial for ‘Slackers’, a music and video game store in Missouri. After writing two locally respected albums, Michael returned to his main passion and directed his talents to writing sketches, scripts, and material that keep the audience laughing and smiling.

Michael Anthony’s natural passion for entertaining, mixed with his experiences in writing and acting, led him to pursue stand up comedy. His timing & observations on current events quickly made him a favorite at local comedy clubs. Within months of Michael’s initial pursuit of comedy, he was already getting paid to perform and even asked to do shows with Guy Torry and Paul Mooney.

Michael is now ready for the next chapter in his life as an entertainer. He is passionate about providing quality entertainment for his audience, and has built upon his prior experiences in order to know the best way to do so. Michael’s experiences are diverse, and his passions are many. He has always put all of himself into every creative project he has ever been involved with, and will continue to do so, so long as there are still people out there that Michael can make laugh and smile.
