Hello and welcome to 'Oh Lockdown! How We Laughed...' S4, Ep. 1 w/ special guest, all the way from Whitlawburn via Canbuslang in Glasgow, Mikey Collins aka Mikey Motion (Vibe Room Comedy) Mikey is a comedian, promoter and online entertainer from Whitlawburn, but now resides in Canbuslang in Glasgow. He first came to public attention as a DJ. He began practicing at home in 2000, and by 2005 was playing large Hardcore raves and festivals all over the UK, Europe and further afield.
He has been making videos, mainly to entertain fans of his music, since 2007 but in 2018, he began to study comedy under Scotland's most respected teacher of the craft, Viv Gee. The Ultra course she was running culminated in a gig at the prestigious Glee club in Glasgow. This led to him appearing more regularly at open spot and dedicated comedy nights and the birth of his own night, Laugh or Cry, at the Classic Grand. Featuring up and coming acts and more established nanes from the comedy scene, it had to take a break in March 2020 for obvious reasons.
Although Lockdown slowed his meteoric rise, like it did the rest of us, he's come out of it swinging. First co-organising an outdoor festival style gig with Twisted that took place in Queens Park featuring the very best of Scottish comedians. He has since been appearing all over Scotland at a variety of comedy night, and performed a number of shows to sold out audiences at this year's Edinburgh Fringe. In October, he will be launching Glasgow's hottest new Comedy Club, The Vibe Room at Time in Maxwell St, near St. Enoch Square.
