ABOUT MICHAEL

Michael McCreary may only be twenty-two, but he’s already well on his way to fulfilling his lifelong, albeit short, dream of becoming a stand-up comedian.

In the past 5 years he has performed stand-up shows, keynote addresses and panel presentations in every province in Canada and across the United States. Michael has also:

• Written the book “Funny, You Don’t Look Autistic” (Annick Press, due for release March 12, 2019)

• hosted videos explaining autism;

• delivered a TEDx Talk;

• done a cross Canada tour hitting every province performing shows and interviewing families to find the positive ways people are dealing with life on the spectrum.

• And he consulted on the TV show “Ransom” to insure the authenticity of a character with autism.

The young comic, a high school grad from Orangeville, Ontario, was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome at the age of five. In an act of self-preservation, combined with the desire for constant attention and the inability to stop talking, stand-up comedy seemed inevitable.

Michael combined his love of comedy and his obsession with Hollywood movies and trained under David Granirer, founder of Stand Up for Mental Health, to create his act ”Does This Make My Asperger’s Look Big?” Over the past 7 years Michael has performed at conferences, galas, universities, bars and church basements across Canada and the United States. See the world through his eyes as he takes you on a comical journey through the lighter side of Asperger’s Syndrome. Learn More about Michael at https://www.aspiecomic.com
