Charlie takes a little trip to Somerville this week. Michael Somerville, is a comedian, writer and host. Not bad for a guy who tried stand up simply because he was dared to get on stage. That would seem to be the end of it. But after moving to New York for an advertising job, and getting tired of shaving everyday, Michael decided to give performing another go.
You’ve probably seen Michael on TV or perhaps read something he’s written. He’s currently the writer and host of, WINGMAN, a series on the Fine Living Network. He also hosted Nick at Nite’s ROAD CREW and the Encore network’s, WHAT GUYS WANT. He’s also appeared on Comedy Central, VH1, Bravo and NBC. Aside from television, Michael Somerville also has a column in Glamour magazine called, “Jake: A Man’s Opinion.”
Somewhere in all of this, Somerville found time to release a comedy CD titled, WELCOME TO SOMERVILLE and is currently working on LOVE, SOMERVILLE, a web series with over a million views so far. Oh yeah, and he still tours the country doing stand-up. In fact, he was named one of the “10 Hottest NYC Comics to Watch” by Improper Magazine.
