ABOUT MIKE

​

Considered "one of the brightest young minds in comedy," Mike Goodwin has a heart to bring strength and healing through joy. That's why he's dedicated his comedic gift and wit to a style and delivery that is as clean as his bowtie.

Mike was born again at a New Year’s Eve service in 1998. Ironically, a New Year’s Eve service was also the birthplace of Comedian Mike Goodwin. Mike opened for Comedian Akintunde that night in 2005 and he has been dispensing laughter medicine ever since.

A Camden, South Carolina native, Mike is the oldest of three children. Mike entered the United States Army after graduating from Camden High School in 1993. After four years of service, Mike exited active duty to enroll at Lander University in Greenwood, SC. At Lander, Mike was very involved on campus, and the seeds of comedy were planted. Mike hosted a myriad of events, and he served as a student ambassador for the University. Mike was also initiated into the Gamma Nu Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi and he is a charter member of the Omicron Nu Chapter.

Mike graduated from Lander University with a Bachelor of Science in Political Science in 2001 and the University of South Carolina with a Master of Education in 2003. He worked in primary and secondary education before taking the full-time comedy leap of faith. Mike also served in the US Army Reserves as a commissioned officer.

Mike incorporates his life experience into his roles as a comedian, actor, writer and motivational speaker. Mike and his beautiful wife Rozalynn, and their daughter and son live in Columbia, South Carolina, where he serves in ministry at Right Direction Church International.

Good, guilt-free laughs are guaranteed. Mike’s engaging and hilarious discussions about everyday life will have you laughing about his wit and repeating his adages long after his performance. New, different, and reinvigorating, Comedian Mike Goodwin is refreshingly funny.
