Description

At one point Mike King was so famous, he appeared on three TV channels on the same night. In this straight-talking Funny As interview, King talks beginnings, celebrity, addiction, and practice makes perfect...including: "Day one of my comedy career" at age eight — "probably day one of my downfall" Cooking for Billy T James, and admiring how Billy T was naughty, but "never crossed the line" The clever talking that led to his very first live performance — "the highest I've ever been in comedy"...
