What do you get when you cross a litigator with a standup comedian? Our latest guest on Sticky Lawyers, Michael Currie. While he picked up standup comedy as a college undergrad who wanted to improve his public speaking skills, this Toronto courtroom lawyer still seeks the comedy club spotlight in his free time.
Michael claims he developed his unique sense of humor growing up on Prince Edward Island. But his appreciation for Seinfeld and belief that lots of on-your-feet experience will improve your standup comedy (and courtroom presence) has led to years of practicing jokes and organizing comedy fundraisers for charity.
Join us as we learn about Michael’s path to the law, a few comedy side jaunts (including a lunchtime set at a Pizza Hut), and the similarities he finds between litigation and standup. And if you happen to be a funny lawyer, Michael may have a gig for you.
