Comedian Mike Cannon talks about his new stand-up material, the impact of his newborn on his comedy, and his upcoming shows in Texas.
The holidays go so fast, but funnyman Mike Cannon has reason to smile: He’s leaving his chilly home for Texas ahead of his two nights. “I think I haven’t been on the road right after Christmas this soon,” he concedes. “But I’m actually excited to leave my family and also be in warm weather and pretend that I miss them.” The father-of-two shares how his newborn has affected not only his sleep schedule, but his performance style.
“All of my stuff lately is more or less family related but not necessarily in the family tone of things,” Cannon explains. “All of my specials are personal based, dark and irreverent, personal experience stuff. I just had a baby three and a half months ago, so I am in that fresh hell. I’m dealing with a five year old and a kid, so I am sleeping max 27 minutes a night. So people can expect a manic performance, but a lot of energy.” To the new parents in his audience, Cannon commiserates. “It’s relentless, it never ends and congrats you got in this on your own accord,” he jokes, adding: “The good news is while it's relentless, it’s the best thing on earth.” While the affable New Yorker just released a special a few months back, he vows that he’s already got a new hour he’s tinkering with full of personal material. “This is all new stuff. I just released a new special in September on Chris Distefano’s YouTube and its called“Now that I’m back on the road, I’ve got a whole brand new set, just fine tuning that. The show now is at is most fun because I am still developing it, while also being completely loose and still excited about it instead of wanting to take my own life from repeating it over and over again.” For those wondering how different each show can really be, the comic demystifies the process a bit and gives a peak into how he ultimately builds the routine that will eventually be filmed and archived. “It’s not 100 percent different, I still have the beats of each joke,” he explain
