About Mike

Born and raised fifteen minutes from Boston, Mike O’Neill couldn’t get rid of his accent if he tried. He was in the “gifted and talented” program in elementary school, then went on to repeat Basic Algebra four times. After minimally applying himself, he graduated high school and went to UMass Amherst because he loves debt. 

After graduating, Mike landed one of his FORTY-SIX jobs at a startup during the dotcom boom, and somehow scored an interview with pro wrestling legend Terry Funk, despite having zero press credentials. 

His first time performing stand-up comedy, Mike absolutely destroyed. So, he invited fifteen friends to his second show, and absolutely bombed. After finding all new friends, he went on to become one of the most dependable feature acts in New England.

Mike met his wife, Ericke, and true to form, got married months later in Vegas by an Elvis impersonator. Yes, those are legal marriages. 

Job number forty-seven is all that matters to Mike—stay-at-home dad. When his daughter was old enough to not stick her finger in a light socket, Mike started TV writing. His acerbic, sharp-witted and honest comedies have placed in several competitions. His script, The Duke of Essex, was a FINALIST in the Stage 32 TV Comedy Contest and Top Ten on the Red List. He’s a two-time ScreenCraft SEMIFINALIST, and has placed in Final Draft - Big Break and Launch Pad. He’s also pretty sure he still holds the all-time shuttle run record at his elementary school.
