Comedian’s mindfulness is a course that explores the similarities between Buddhism’s noble eightfold path and the principles taught by America’s top comedy institutions. Comedy institutions whose alumni have written and performed on Saturday Night Live, late night talk shows, sitcoms, Broadway stages, in feature films and pretty much every other comedic forum.
I’m Michael Traylor. I’ve been performing and teaching comedy for over two decades. I’ve performed for and taught the heads of multinational corporations…and kindergartners. I’ve performed for live and simulcast audiences in the hundreds of thousands, in industry showcases for tv and movie executives, producers, and agents. I’ve also performed in bars where nobody cared, no.bo.dy.
Trained in Chicago, cut my teeth in Hawaii, currently reside in the mile-high.
