Michael Ginn
Comedian
Humor columnist for The New Yorker, The Atlantic, GQ, The Seattle Times, and Popular Mechanics. He rarely performs live but has accumulated a large web presence.
As a kid, he had dreams of becoming a legitimate comedian, which he would accomplish.
He attended Ecole Jacques Lecoq, a clown college, in Paris. Upon returning to the U.S., he performed evenings at theaters around the country and even did some miming on the side.
He was born in Bakersfield, California to an alcoholic blues musician and absentee father. He used humor to compensate with the troubles of his everyday life.
He's worked on Chris Hardwick's show @midnight.
